[blindlaw] Document Review

[Stewart, Christopher K]

While I haven't done doc review, I imagine that what you say is
correct, and the platforms are very likely inaccessible. This is part
of the larger issue that also includes accessible firm management
software. I'm not sure what the solution is, however, other than blind
lawyers starting a coordinated campaign to contact the various firm
management companies.

My issue with firm management software is that it is essentially a
file management system with a calendar and billing mechanism built in.
There is no reason why these products cannot be designed accessibly.
If anyone is interested in arranging some sort of campaign to raise
awareness, please let me know.


Best,
Chris
