Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Document Review

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
