[blindlaw] [student question] Citing with Lexis and Westlaw

[Tai Tomasi]

To my knowledge, there is no accessible way to do this in either Lexis or westlaw. I would love to be proven wrong.

Sadly, I have never managed to do this successfully on either site, and I have spoken to accessibility personnel with both. It is easier to copy the citation from Lexis since there is a button to do so, but you will not get a pin citation. You will need to search for the nearest asterisk to whatever you are citing which will give you the page number. Make sure you know which reporter you are citing to, though, as many cases are reported in multiple places and so have more than one set of page numbers.

Hello list,

I am a 1L student and just getting the hang of Lexis and Westlaw using JAWS. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pin cite with Lexis?

If you are a mouse user, you can highlight text with the mouse and a context menu comes up where you can copy the text with a pin cite. https://help.lexisnexis.com/tabula-rasa/newlexis/copytexttoclipboard_hdi-task?lbu=US&locale=en_US&audience=res

Is there a way to do this using a screen reader?

Cheers,
Shane
