[blindlaw] question

[Tai Tomasi]

I am a JAWS user. I took an advanced legal research course in law school which required me to become familiar with Lexis, Bloomburg, and FastCase. None of these were as accessible as Westlaw. Although students were encouraged to learn as many databases as possible in law school, I haven't been at a disadvantage due to the fact that I exclusively use Westlaw.

Subject: [blindlaw] question

Hello Group, I have a question. I am a second semester law school student, and I am going blind. I currently enjoy using Westlaw for my legal research. However, I tried to use Lexis Nexis today to do some research, but I found it to be difficult with N.D.V.A. and Jaws. Do you have any suggestions of any other legal research websites that will work well with screen reader's? In addition, should I even be concerned with learning another legal research website at this point in my law school career.
