[blindlaw] question

[Brian Unitt]

Westlaw had a text only option when I had a subscription a few years ago, and that worked well.  I have been with Lexis for two years, and find the Lexis Advance to be very difficult to use, but the regular Lexis site is fine with JAWS.

In my experience westlaw works very well with jaws, and I have not come across a firm that doesn't currently own a westlaw subscription.
If you are concerned I would contact Lexis directly. I know westlaw maintains some level of familiarity with screen readers, and Lexis may do the same.

My knowledge is a little dated, but the text only version of WestLaw works well with Jaws.

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.
