[blindlaw] Document Review

Mon Apr 4 21:34:59 UTC 2016

I am happy to help however I can. I know my firm has been in contact with Relativity, who handles our doc review software; not sure if they have approached our DMS provider.
I think getting some of their big clients to lean on them, along with a strong public advocacy effort by NABAA has the best chance of bringing about change.

I think the campaign about accessibility of case management products should be taken on by the National Association of Blind Lawyers.    This discussion is a good starting point.

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
