[blindlaw] FW: Events Compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act

[Elizabeth Troutman]

Friends,
See below from the Middle District of North Carolina. We have worked with the Court here to make the filing system compatible with JAWS. Hopefully this will work - and I thought it might be helpful to those in other jurisdictions to share this initiative with your respective clerks of court.

Subject: Events Compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act


This is an announcement e-mail message generated by Court action through the CM/ECF system. Please DO NOT RESPOND to this e-mail because the mail box is unattended.
The Clerks Office for the Middle District of North Carolina has created several new web accessible civil and criminal events in CM/ECF, which are listed under the Web Accessible heading. The events were created to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and are intended to help a blind user with assistive technology, such as screen reader software, to independently file documents. The events are not as functional as other non-web accessible events due to programming limitations beyond the Courts control. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts plans on upgrading CM/ECF in the future to be fully compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
If you experience any difficulties with the new events or have any questions, please contact the Clerks Office at 336-332-6000.
