From chris.stewart at uky.edu Tue Mar 1 14:18:33 2016 From: chris.stewart at uky.edu (Stewart, Christopher K) Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 09:18:33 -0500 Subject: [blindlaw] Double checking Bluebook Message-ID: Hi Kelby, After two years of law review, I believe the only way to insure accuracy is to do a bunch of insert F to read you the attributes of the text. One important thing, however, is that when you're using JAWS online and press insert F, it tells you the font attributes, but does not tell you whether it is in small caps, at least my version doesn't. So, I suggest preparing an MS Word document where you copy the examples of the most commonly-cited forms from the online Bluebook. This also saves you from tabbing around on the website. For me, the most common ones have been: Law review articles (consecutively and non-consecutively paginated) books online sources cases federal statutes administrative opinions model rules Good luck!

At the Utah location, I was with a sighted co-worker, and our waiter was most helpful in explaining the device to her. She is not the most tech-savvy person (I have talked her through a lot of issues she has had with her Surface Pro tablet), and some of the things that she was describing on the screen did sound a bit confusing even for a sighted user. This was confirmed when my boyfriend and I ran into the same device at another restaurant here at home. He is an engineer and very computer-oriented, yet also was a bit thrown off by the device. Again at this location, the waiter was very helpful and a standard order/pay method was also available. Long story short - the problem may go beyond just the apparent lack of accessibility....

I find that I have a rudimentary command of the track changes feature, and that I have no problems navigating among and reading comments posted in balloons within the text. What I have trouble with is reviewing redline revisions, where people mark specific blocks of text for deletion or replacement. Even though I'm able to navigate from revision to revision within the text, I often find it disorienting to locate what particular text has been marked for deletion, and what it has been replaced by. Am I missing something fundamental, or does anyone else struggle with this as well? Just to avoid rehash, or perhaps because it may be instructive to some on the list, here are the commands that I know and which constitute my repertoire as far as track changes for now: Control Shift E - Toggles track changes on and off Quick keys (JAWS key plus Z) - M to move to the next comment, R to move to the next revision Windows key; - Provides lists of all comments, footnotes, endnotes and revisions Alt R A - Accept revision Alt R J - Reject revision Beyond this, if anyone has any guidance to help me master and make more effective use of redlining, or can point me to any articles or online resources that are helpful, I'd be most grateful.

Like you, I am able to detect what changes someone has suggested with relative ease by using the commands that you described. It is also quite easy to accept or reject changes. The key challenge is determining what, precisely, someone has suggested because the changes very often may be stylistic and not substantive. Further, I sometimes find it hard to suggest possible changes in track mode because it is difficult to ascertain the distinction between deleted text and added text.

Will -----Original Message----- From: blindlaw-bounces at nfbnet.org [mailto:blindlaw-bounces at nfbnet.org] On Behalf Of Jack Chen Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 11:39 AM To: NFBnet Blind Law Mailing List Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Reading colored highlighted text with JAWS Hello all Sorry for the delay. There are two types of highlighting in documents that it is useful to read. The first is track changes. Track changes is a feature of Word that allows an editor to change a document while maintaining a history of the changes for the reviewer. It consists of three types of changes -- insertions, deletions, and format changes. The reviewer can specify how he wishes track changes to appear on his screen. The options can be found in tools -> track changes. In most versions of Word, the three types of changes can appear with text in a specific color and in a special font. Jaws can be made to read such changes by going to the configuration manager (jaws key + 6). Go to the "set options" menu and then to Speech Options. There are a number of spoken profiles you can choose from. The "classic" profile does not speak any of the color or format changes. Other profiles speak with different voices for different formatting and colors. I personally find the different voices distracting and just like Jaws to tell me exactly what is there. Therefore, I use the "attributes and formatting" profile. Press return on this option and hit CTRL+S to save the profile. Exit the configuration manager. In Word, I typically turn off showing the changes in different colors because it takes Jaws time to read the color. I set insertions to show in underline and deletions to show in strike through. The tricky part is that documents often have underlining and strike through that isn't track changes. Jaws will read these just the same. To use track changes, you can go to next change, accept the change, or reject the change. These can be set up as short cut keys (ask someone who knows how to use Word well). If you land on a piece of underlined or strike through text, you can tell if it is a change by going to the option to accept/reject the change and seeing if it allows you to accept or reject. If the underlined or stricken through text is not a track change, then the option will be grayed out. The final thing to note is that you want to turn off insertions and deletions shown in balloons. This option should be in the track changes dialogue where you set how the changes will be displayed. For highlighting and colors that are not track changes, the different speech profiles will read the formatting to you. If you want to know the formatting of a particular character that you are on, jaws key + f will speak the formatting. Jaws key + 5 will read the color of the text as well as the background. I know there is a way to read all text of a particular color/formatting type in Jaws, but I haven't found it very intuitive or easy to use. I hope this helps.

Control + Shift + E is simply the command for toggling track changes on and off, as already discussed. It does not toggle the view in the way that Tim described. I have previously seen reference to the feature that Tim described as well, but have had trouble locating it within the ribbon. I just went poking around in the ribbon again, and still didn't locate it. If one goes to Alt + G + O, one comes to options for track changes, but I didn't see the option to toggle between finished view and marked up view. Tim (or anybody), if you can provide a more specific direction for this command, I for one would be most appreciative.

For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than a million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability or national origin. The National Prison Project of the ACLU’s National office in Washington, D.C. seeks applications for a full-time Paralegal. OVERVIEW Founded in 1972 by the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Prison Project (NPP) seeks to ensure constitutional conditions of confinement in prisons, jails, juvenile facilities, and immigration detention facilities. The Project has successfully litigated on behalf of prisoners in more than 25 states. Since 1991 it has represented prisoners in five cases before the United States Supreme Court. The Project is the only organization litigating conditions of confinement cases nationwide on behalf of men, women, and children. NPP policy priorities include reducing prison overcrowding, improving prisoner health care, eliminating violence and maltreatment, and increasing oversight and accountability in prisons, jails, and other places of detention. The Project leads the nationwide Stop Solitary campaign, which works to end the excessive and inappropriate use of solitary confinement. The Project also coordinates a nationwide network of litigators, conducts training and public education conferences, and provides expert advice and technical assistance to activists and lawyers throughout the country. The Project also works to challenge the policies of over-incarceration that have led the United States to imprison more people than any other country in the world. This is an opportune moment to reform those policies. There is a growing consensus among criminal justice experts and policymakers that America’s criminal justice system has relied too heavily on incarceration as the first and often only response to non-violent behavior that could better be addressed through other means. The population in American prisons and jails has tripled in the past 15 years and now approaches two and a half million. Facilities are overcrowded; medical systems are overwhelmed; and work, education, and treatment programs are inadequate. This failed experiment does not make us safer, it is not affordable, and it exacerbates the racial disparities that have long plagued the criminal justice system. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES · Produce, edit and format court pleadings, discovery and other legal documents for federal, district and circuit courts. Handle paper and electronic court filings · Collect data, perform analysis and conduct other non-legal research used in litigation and policy presentations · Perform cite checking and assist with legal research, including internet research · Respond to intake calls, emails and letters from individuals seeking assistance · Provide litigation support for attorneys · Serve as liaison with co-counsel and clients · Manage and coordinate databases, case files, attorney correspondence files and litigation docket · Other duties and responsibilities as assigned QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE * A minimum of two years of paralegal or related experience preferred. * Ability to work independently as well as within a team. · Exceptional organizational skills, including the ability to handle multiple tasks, prioritize work and meet deadlines under pressure. · Strong interpersonal skills. · Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, including the ability to compose, proof and edit correspondence and documents. · Proficient with Microsoft Office (including Word, Outlook, Excel, and Access). * Strong research skills, including internet research. · Commitment to civil liberties and prisoners’ rights is highly desirable. COMPENSATION The ACLU offers a generous and comprehensive compensation and benefits package, commensurate with experience and within parameters of the ACLU compensation scale.

Our government at every level is equally guilty. For example, check this one out: www.taxcolorado.com Search for Revenue Online link and take a hard look. Also, check out: www.denvergov.org/EBiztax This is the site where sales tax returns gets reported on a quarterly or annual basis by business located in the City & County of Denver. One other one: http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/DME/home.html?menuheaders=4 The page that loads has an Affidavit form in PDF format that's NOT accessible. Again, in my opinion, before retailers are hit hard, how about the government first? I am seriously considering filing a complaint with CCRC against the state of Colorado and Denver County after making a few consultations.

Find thusly a "save the date" for a facilitated panel dialogue. Indeed, persons with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to negative law enforcement interactions, including, most notably, people who have mental health disabilities. Even more so, if they have a service animal. Yet, structured dialogue can address concerns on both sides. In a continued effort to broker leaders together, including, fostering dialogue at the intersection of animals and dispute resolution, I want to provide an advance "save the date" for an interesting panel, which will be telephonically available; and, which will, as the Executive Board hopes, be published as a transcript in the next issue of the Mid-Atlantic Journal on Law and Public Policy: Animal and Disability Reporter. In brief, the panel, composed of experts in law and mediation, will discuss situations escalating into police involved killings of animals and how dispute resolution should be applied, as par to the larger conversation on community policing, to improve this.
