Most likely - which will come as huge disappointment to many of my older, sighted coworkers!

I assume they are going to ditch text.westlaw.com along with westlaw classic.

Some of the problems may come from the network your internet is set on - I have no problem with Next on my iPad and at home, but our office network makes it almost impossible to even access, let alone use.  (Our computer network is a county-wide thing, so since this is a government agency, there is no way to escape its effects.)  Because of the problems at the office, which include not being able to log-in, etc., I often try to limp along with Google, or use my own data plan on my iPad.  When I can even log-in at work, the network is so slow that it impedes the functioning of Next, so I end up switching to text.westlaw.com.

Echo all of the above. I use west law next exclusively with jaws, and have never had any accessibility problems. That being said, it did take awhile for me to figure out how pages are laid out, etc. if you give more specific information on the problems you're having, I'd be happy to help.
