Colleagues,
I thought many of us would be interested in responding to the ABA Commission
on Disability Rights inquiry on access to technology, below.

Subject: Seeking information about your experiences with law practice
technology
Happy 2013!
The Commission on Disability Rights is seeking information about the
experiences of attorneys and law students with disabilities with technology
access on the job. Are there particular software programs, machines, or
other devices that you find difficult or impossible for you to use due to
your disability? Alternatively, are there programs, etc. that actually help
you with your workflow? Everything from the copy and fax machine/scanner,
to your phone and whatever else you find at your workstation, to your time
and case management systems-all are fair game. We would like to learn about
off-the-shelf products that work for you, products that don't, your current
work-arounds, and your recommendations for what can be improved to make the
practice of law accessible to anyone, regardless of disability.
Please share your experiences and thoughts by e-mailing me directly at
sherri.rita at americanbar.org.
