[blindlaw] Accessible Discovery Review Platforms?

Wed Sep 6 18:17:17 UTC 2017

Could it be scripted to work with JAWS, or could one use a scripting alternative, like Alt, to record what is essentially a macro, a series of mouse clicks, that would let the JAWS user click buttons and continue through the process?

When I tried using Relativity with JAWS and IE, I could do the first few steps to set up a search. But then I had to click on the graphic of a magnifying glass to continue. This means I could not perform the search nor could I save a search to modify at some future time.

I saw Marcos' email regarding the fact that he uses Relativity with NVDA. I am interested in knowing which aspects of Relativity are accessible with NVDA and whether those same aspects are accessible with JAWS and IE? In other words, I am wondering the extent to which Relativity is totally and completely accessible. Are there features that blind attorneys cannot access?

Discovery platforms are software packages, often a database and a search utility, that allow lawyers to conduct electronic discovery of documents that have been scanned and then loaded onto the database. Right now, my matters use Relativity and Kroll, both of which are inaccessible with JAWS and IE. I therefore ask our litigation support staff to print out electronically the documents I am interested in reviewing as PDFs. It is not an ideal solution, but it works. However, I also supplement my own work through the review efforts of a staff attorney.

What do you mean by discovery platforms?
