[blindlaw] Core Grammar for Lawyers

I used the core grammar for lawyers pretest and subsequent modules and quizzes in my 1L year last year. I found all of it to be accessible using a Mac with Safari and the built-in screen reader voiceover. Though, I do think I had some issues navigating between modules and saying what modules I had already completed. Also, I would make sure to adjust your screen reader to pronounce all punctuation, as this caused me a few problems in the first few modules.
