[blindlaw] Arguing in courts using soft copy documents

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hi Everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. Here in India, courts have
increasingly begun using soft copy documents at oral argument.
While this has the potential of making the practice of law more
accessible to the disabled than has been hitherto possible, it may
also give rise to some logistical challenges.
More specifically, I wonder how a blind lawyer would be able to use
screen reading technology and refer to the documentation that they are
relying on while also conversing with the judge and answering their
questions.

So if any of you have any experience of litigating in courts which
have gone fully digital, please share your experiences.

Best,
Rahul
