[blindlaw] Pulling for Law Review

[kelby carlson]

My team has already said they will just avoid giving me print sources
that haven't already been scanned. I've told them it would probably be
easiest for me to convert problematic PDFs into Word with Kurzweil.

If anyone has suggestions about using the find feature in Adobe that
would be nice.
