Those of us with a disability could have told them this a long time ago. How can I get paid to tell researchers the obvious? Ross CYNIC, n.

Of course, you will learn a whole lot there, in addition to just Braille. However, if that's more than you want, I would recommend getting in touch with the Hadley School for the Blind. They have several free courses on Braille, which will take you from total beginner to reading and writing contracted Braille. In fact, they can even take you beyond that, to reading Mathematics and music, but whether or not you wish to go that far is of course up to you. Luck.

I am a fourth year law student from India. I am currently working on an initiative with other disabled lawyers aimed at putting together a list of suggestions for the consideration of the Chief Justice of India and other key figures in the government and policy making bodies to make courts more accessible for disabled lawyers and to make litigation a viable career choice for a disabled lawyer. To this end, I would be extremely grateful if you would be so kind as to apprise me of the best practices that are followed in the United States and other countries with respect to the following areas for promoting universal access and providing reasonable accommodation: 1. Accessibility of the filing system using which different documents such as plaints, written statements, rejoinders and affidavits can be filed during the course of a lawsuit. More specifically, what special steps have these platforms taken for promoting universal access? 2. Making the filing process hassle-free for disabled lawyers. Disabled lawyers face a lot of challenges during the filing stage of documents because it is difficult for them maintain the level of specificity and exactitude that the court registries demand for getting documents effectively filed. In addition, there are no mechanisms for helping disabled lawyers confront these hyper-technical objections raised by court registries during the filing process. Most of the challenges pertain to very unimportant elements of formatting and things such as the maintenance of right margins, providing proper space while writing application number, deletion of underlining and highlighting, etc. 3. Full accessibility of court websites. This would include things such as removal of captchas, making combo boxes fully accessible, rendering pages in unicode in order to prevent material in vernacular languages from interfering with the content of the website, etc. What strategies have you adopted for confronting these challenges in the U.S.? 4. Making the physical infrastructure of courts accessible. This would include things such as installing audio labels outside courtrooms for lawyers to ascertain the number of the concerned courtroom, making display boards more accessible, etc. What other best practices can you suggest in this regard? Please feel free to reach me off-list if you'd like to discuss this further or bring any other pain points to my notice. Your suggestions would be incredibly valuable and will go a long way in helping us acquire a fuller picture of the concrete solutions that we must propose.

A printer only prints information or document sent to it and how you set it up depends on the particular app or program you're trying to print from. Anyway, I use a Canon printer from the Image Class series! No talking menus on this printer, truly a shame, but that's the case with virtually all printers! I can send print jobs to this printer even from my shiny Android phone.

Sounds like ink/toner lasts longer in laser printers (?) Not sure how to research which Cannon image class model you reference. I agree on push buttons.Fax information is unclear. Is the fax program on your computer and you select it, or is it a printer option? That makes a difference when specifying a printer model. Sounds like you have surveyed the market for "talking menus" on printers. That is what I mean by Jaws accessability is access to menus for installation, selecting options and trouble shooting.

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] printer question Hi Cathryn: When you talk about a printer being accessible to Jaws, I am confused! A printer only prints information or document sent to it and how you set it up depends on the particular app or program you're trying to print from. Anyway, I use a Canon printer from the Image Class series! No talking menus on this printer, truly a shame, but that's the case with virtually all printers! I can send print jobs to this printer even from my shiny Android phone.

It's tray will hold up to 250 sheets. It does duplicate printing--that is, it will print on both sides of the paper if so desired. If you are scanning a piece of paper that has writing on both sides, you can have it scan both sides automatically. Its automatic document feeder holds up to 35-50 pages. It can be set to automatically fax both sides of a paper if necessary. It appears that the scanning software it ships with will convert scanned images to OCR automatically, and a screen reader will be able to read it! It does require scripting to make it more accessible so I hardly ever use it. This printer is reasonably heavy. I think it's about 25 pounds or a bit more. It's not as compact as you'd expect, but that's ok for me. Yes, the toners do last quite a while. If this were an inkjet, I'll probably be on my way to Office Depot right now to buy more ink ! I've had it since 2014, and there's no sign the ink will dry up anytime soon. I can initiate a scan session from my computer; I'm still learning how best to use this function of the printer so I can't comment sufficiently on it just yet. I have this printer on my office's wireless network. I'm trying hardest to CUT WIRES and try trading them on Wall Street just to see who'll buy ! I'd have to look through my notes to remember how much I paid for it; but you can read all about it on Amazon.com. There's a monochrome model and that is the MF8380CDW. I'm not sure if Canon still makes this printer anymore, but I do like Canon's Tech Support. In a few days, I'll install Abbyy FineReader Professional and do more scanning. Sorry, I won't ever purchase OpenBook or Kurzweil as there are cheaper alternatives in the open market.

The trial court held that the costs were conservatively calculated, but found that they were non-taxable after discussing the matter with other members of the court.The trial court seemed to hold that the costs were just the overhead of being a blind lawyer.

Chuck Harvard Law School launches “Free the Law” project with Ravel Law to digitize US case law, provide free access October 29, 2015 Harvard Law School has announced that, with the support of Ravel Law, a legal research and analytics platform, it is digitizing its entire collection of U.S. case law, one of the largest collections of legal materials in the world, and that it will make the collection available online, for free, to anyone with an Internet connection. The “Free the Law” initiative will provide open, wide-ranging access to American case law for the first time in United States history. “Driving this effort is a shared belief that the law should be free and open to all,” said Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow. “Using technology to create broad access to legal information will help create a more transparent and more just legal system.” stacks of old books Credit: Lorin Granger Harvard Law School’s collection comprises 40,000 books containing approximately forty million pages of court decisions, including original materials from cases that predate the U.S. Constitution. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative database of American law and cases available anywhere except for the Library of Congress, containing binding judicial decisions from the federal government and each of the fifty states, from the founding of each respective jurisdiction. The Harvard Law School Library—the largest academic law library in the world—has been collecting these decisions over the past two hundred years. Digitizing these materials will make them broadly accessible to nonprofits, academics, practitioners, researchers, and law students—anyone with a smartphone or Internet connection. The material will be added to—and will be searchable through—Ravel’s platform, which uses data science, machine learning, and visualization to help people sift quickly through millions of court opinions. scanning documents Credit: Lorin Granger In the Harvard Library Innovation Lab (a unit within the Harvard Law School Library), bound volumes are being scanned by high-speed imaging equipment capable of scanning 500,000 pages per week, and the text of each decision is then extracted into machine-readable files made available to Ravel Law and to Harvard – and ultimately the public at large. Case law for California jurisdictions will be online in November. The full collection of nationwide case law is expected to be digitized and searchable for free by mid-2017, and will be available through www.ravellaw.com. Harvard and Ravel have agreed to release the entire database for bulk use by anyone within eight years. “Libraries were founded as an engine for the democratization of knowledge, and the digitization of Harvard Law School’s collection of U.S. case law is a tremendous step forward in making legal information open and easily accessible to the public,” said Jonathan Zittrain, the George Bemis Professor of International Law at Harvard Law School, and Vice Dean for Library and Information Resources. “The materials in the library’s collection tell a story that goes back to the founding of America, and we’re proud to preserve and share that story,” said Zittrain, who also holds appointments as Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Professor at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. Daniel Lewis, co-founder and chief executive officer of Ravel Law, said: “We share with Harvard Law School a common belief that increasing access to our country’s legal records through technology will help make our legal system more transparent and just. By collaborating together on this digitization effort, we hope to provide the public with unique and powerful ways to find and understand the law.” Nik Reed, co-founder and chief of everything else of Ravel Law, added: “As a company founded by lawyers, we understand firsthand the importance of access to legal information. The immense volume and complexity of the law creates challenges for anyone appearing in court, and through this collaboration, we seek to empower lawyers with an extensive database of American case law along with Ravel’s innovative analytics to help develop winning legal strategies.” breaking book binding Credit: Lorin Granger Said Jim Sandman, president of the Legal Services Corporation, the largest funder of civil legal aid for low-income Americans: “This is a great development. Making legal materials and analytical tools available for free will be of great value to non-profit legal aid lawyers in providing essential legal services to low-income people.” Ralph Baxter, an advisor to Ravel and also to the Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Profession said: “Technology is changing the legal landscape, and the law firm of the future will need to be more efficient, more agile, and more opportunistic in finding new ways to deliver legal services. The collaboration between Harvard Law School and Ravel Law offers a new and exciting resource that lawyers can deploy to improve how they practice law.” http://today.law.harvard.edu/harvard-law-school-launches-free-the-law-project-with-ravel-law-to-digitize-us-case-law-provide-free-access/ From dmanners at jd16.law.harvard.edu Tue Nov 17 01:04:08 2015 From: dmanners at jd16.law.harvard.edu (Derek Manners) Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 20:04:08 -0500 Subject: [blindlaw] Harvard launches free legal research program In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <56A54BA3-C8D2-4D78-9F54-0DC0E9BE64D9@jd16.law.harvard.edu> Hello, I have followed up with Harvard about the accessibility of this program and am hoping to have a response in the next week or two.
