Subject: [blindLaw] law review question
Message-ID: <5de328e2.1c69fb81.80bdf.6bb2@mx.google.com>

Hello, I have a question regarding law review. I am in my third year of law school and due to unforseen circumstances, did not get a chance to be on law review. While I understand that law review is of benefit, how detrimental would it be for those of us who are not on law review. The reason I ask this question hear is because for those of us who are visually impaired, I have found that we  can have all the experience we want, but will still experience hesitation from our perspective employers when it comes to getting the job, especially the job we most want. If anyone could provide some perspective, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I'm curious about this also, especially combined with
a) slowness of accessing notes,
b) need to use a computer & a text to speech earpiece (my Braille reading
skills are terrible), and
c) need for more time than usual (if my voice is not working well, or if
there are delays due to notes).

This is both for judicial hearings, and for public speaking more generally
(which I do regularly).


I'd thought of a few ideas, and wonder what the rest of you think about
them.

A. Time

1. A tactile wristwatch

2. Multiple alarms on a smartphone, eg to make a quiet single ding tone
every minute, a different one every 5, and more marked ones when getting
close to the end of allotted time (minus time reserved for rebuttal)

3. Notice from the clerk or a judge

4. Notice from co-counsel, in a more subtle way (eg tongue clicks or finger
snaps with prearranged meaning)


B. Notes

1. Preemptively asking for permission to write a follow-up filing
addressing anything that would've been in notes and I don't remember on the
spot, eg references, examples, or addressing questions that require
reference to notes

2. Using a smartphone or laptop at the lectern, in audio mode to an
earpiece (so it's private)

3. Getting co-counsel to look it up and be allowed to whisper to me the
answers (or share the mic)


C. Voicing issues

1. Having a legal ASL interpreter on hand, and mooting with that specific
person beforehand

2. Having my laptop on hand to do text to speech

3. Getting preemptive permission for extended time if my voice starts
failing (for me, stutter or painful speech tends to happen before I go
mute).

Using an interpreter for live discussion, on technicality precise topics,
typically takes double to triple the ordinary amount of time even if
they're very good, and often I need to correct them. Same for text to
speech; I type fast, but it's still much slower than speech.


Any thoughts on any of the above, or other alternatives?

I think it would help for answering your question if you shared your career
or other goals.

Do you want to be an academic? Judge? Appellate litigator? Biglaw? Small /
solo? Transactional? Clerkship as 4L? Permanent clerkship?

What externships or clinics have you done?


For some it's going to be a bonus (of varying importance due to varying
relevance and competition); for others it really doesn't matter at all and
might even be a negative (due to opportunity cost of not doing something
more relevant).

Same goes for 4L clerkships.


Hard to give advice without knowing what your goals are.

Message-ID: <e6d6e8aab6f9769f49b34930e12d5fd5@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I have joined a new team at my firm that is going to necessitate a lot more
time in hearings. I am considering investing in a braille display or note
taker as a more efficient way of getting and recording information than
lugging my laptop.

I would really appreciate some thoughts and recommendations on products
people have used in litigation and liked. I have been looking at the Orbit
20 and Braille Me, mainly based on their cost. (I want to make sure the
technology will be what I need before I make a bigger investment.)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hello,

I am a big fan of the new QBraille XL, which is a 40-cell Braille display from HIMS. It has a limited standalone note taking capability, about on par with what you would get from the units you’re looking at. The thing about the cheaper 20-cell displays is that they are very loud and slow compared to the more expensive product lines. I would look into obtaining a larger used display before trying to employ one of the budget models in a demanding environment. Something else you may wish to look into is whether a regional blindness center or rehabilitation agency maintains an assistive technology lending library, as this might be a good way to try out a device before committing to it. Local vendors might also be willing to take a device to your workplace for you to try out in conditions like what you would encounter during your planned use case. I tend to discourage people from adopting the Polaris, Braille Note Touch or other similar devices unless they have an established history of using such devices, as the learning curve is typically more than most people are willing to put up with and the new Android-based devices have some pretty frustrating quirks that can limit their integration into established workflows. Another option is the El Braille from Vispero, which is basically a mini PC docking station for a Focus40 Braille display. It’s pretty neat, but might not be what you’re looking for if you have a laptop you like working with already. I hope that provides some context.

I have the Orbit 20 but I would not use it in court. I use it when I am at 
conference or taking notes during some meetings, but not more than that.

I also use a Brailliant BI 40 and I found this one is much more suited for 
the task of note taking and reading in court. Once you have it mastered, you 
can take it to the podium and read your notes directly from the laptop on 
Counsel's table.

I am also a fan of the Brailliant BI 40. The keys and braille cells are very quiet. I don't use it in court (I try to stay far away from court at all times), but it is great for client meetings. You can't avoid bringing a laptop with you, but the Brailliant is a great display. 

If I were in the market for a "smart" display right now, I would seriously consider the HIMS device that someone else mentioned. I used a HIMS Braille Edge for a few years and really liked the quality of the braille. 

Perhaps you have already thought of doing this, but you might consider asking your firm to provide the display as a reasonable accommodation. They might prefer to do this, especially if you use a "smart" display, because otherwise, confidential information could be processed on a device that they don't own or control. 


Best, 

Angie

You might want to consider using a Focus 40 from Vispero or the Brailliant BI 40 from Humanware with an iPad or even an iPhone.
The Focus 5th generation does have some basic notetaking functionality.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I have been investigating these
options. My firm has agreed to get me whatever I need, so I have some
greater price flexibility.
As a follow-up, my plan is to pair my device with my iPhone. I haven't
really looked in to getting an IPAD, has anyone been able to identify an
advantage in adding  one?

Message-ID: <CAGJqSigD4-m76bFDY+VyOPoURq3c8-VUN5C-dLMTjEBfXu6z3Q@mail.gmail.com>

List,
My name is John  Gardner. I have been on this list before, and I get off
after I get the answers that I am looking for. When I get those answers I
then forget what the answers were. I am not going to get off the list this
time.

Anyway here is what I am wondering. How does a totally blind person study
for the LSAT? I may end up going totally blind before I take the LSAT. I am
wondering if I do lose all my vision what are some accommodations that
totally blind people use on the LSAT? How does/did a totally blind person
take the LSAT?

Any ideas, suggestions, or help of any kind as to how to do things
pertaining to the LSAT totally blind are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John Gardner

Hello,

It depends on your situation.
For me, also a totally blind individual and during the days of the
paper LSAT, I asked for the following;
(Please adapt without copying my language):
      To whom it may concern,

      In order to receive a fair and competitive chance at achieving a
score on the LSAT, and in order to compensate for my visual deficit,
which prevents me from processing any and all  visual information,
including written text of any size, I officially request the following
accommodations to be administered on the LSAT test, in accordance with
LSAC’s disability policy. As outlined in "Accommodations That May Be
Available on the LSAT," I request the following:

      (1) a Screen-readable HTML test, accessed by a computer equipped
with the screen reader software Jaws 14 or higher, in order to read
and answer the test questions (Accommodation 3);

      (2) extended (up to, and including +100%) double time for all
multiple choice, writing, and break sections, in order to have time to
read, process, and answer the questions (acc4);

(3) the use of a computer equipped with (the screen reader) Jaws 14 or
higher for the Multiple choice and writing sections, in order to read
and answer the test questions (acc2, 5);

      (4) the use of headphones to listen to the test;

      (5) the use of an electronic braille writer (I.E., HumanWare
BrailleNote mPower) for all sections, multiple choice and writing, in
order to record resultant answers;

      (6) the use of a printer to print resultant answers (acc5);

      (7) the ability to record answers electronically, I.E., on an
electronic braille writer such as the HumanWare BrailleNote mPower)
(acc7); and

      (8) the ability to electronically take notes (I.E., electronic
scratch paper on the BrailleNote) to substitute for cited marginal
notes, highlighting, underlining, ETC.  (acc17).

      This request is not made in order to obtain an advantage over
other test takers; it is only made to provide a need-based, reasonably
fair, alternative to taking an otherwise visual test.

      Sincerely,
Name.

I was also given a private room in which to take the exam and some breaks.
Some have also used spreadsheet software for the logic games, an
skillset beyond me.
If you need it, also request spellcheck.
And, for documentation, submit everything you have:
previous school IEPs; school accommodations; medical stuff--everything able.

These days, things might be different.

Sincerely,
Seif

You might not need it.
Since I prefer to read and write in braille, I used it for notes and
my writing sample.
Should you wish, you could use a computer instead.

Hi John,

I just took the LSAT in September, and I also requested the HTML tests.


I started by going to the LSAC website and reading absolutely
everything they had to offer about accommodations for the LSAT.  It
doesn't provide all the answers, but their website is a great place to
start.

Then you should decide how you want to take the test.  After you've
read about the test: what it is, what each section will test you on,
etc, decide if you want to ask for a screen-reader accessible test, a
Braille test, a reader, or something else.

My advice there would be to take the test in whatever format with
which you are most comfortable.  You should also think about how you
are most comfortable taking notes.  I also requested the use of a
Braille note taker for this and found it immensely useful.  But if you
prefer to take notes on the computer, then this is a good option as
well.  When sighted people take the LSAT, they are given scratch paper
to use for this purpose, and we have the same right to take notes.

Once you've decided how you want to take the test, you'll need to
create a study plan.  I found Khan Academy super useful for this
because they guide you with a study plan, and their platform is almost
entirely accessible.  But if you choose to take a Braille test, you
will want to order a Braille practice test from LSAC.  You can do
this, and you can also order a copy of the screen-reader accessible
test.  I would suggest doing this even if you use Khan Academy because
what you order will be a model of what you will see on test day.

If you get into a rhythm of studying, of working steadily up to a
place where you can go through questions in a time limit that fits in
with whatever extra time you requested, you'll be on your way.

Let me know if you have other questions, and I can try to answer them.
There's definitely more to talk about with regards to the LSAT, but
that can get you started.

Julie

Subject: [blindLaw] editing and bluebooking
Message-ID: <5df949a0.1c69fb81.ca6c4.c734@mx.google.com>

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do bluebook editing such as in papers or journals. I found that I have to use track changes and was wondering how this would be managed with jaws. Also, how can jaws determine if a particular word is italicized, capitalized or bolded for this purpose. To me, it seems like bluebooking and editing things like that even for grammar and punctuation seemed like something only sighted people could do but I don't accept that. Any tips are appreciated.

Message-ID: <940A9D07-F496-40B5-8817-E2DC9AD768F9@gmail.com>

Hi,

I use Word 16 and JAWS version 2019.1906.10. Am facing the following issues:
A. JAWS often freezes when I have to deal with large documents with many revisions and footnotes which is to say any document ever. I have to turn it off and on or sometimes restart the computer itself.
B. It does not display all revisions in the virtual viewer. One document I have, I know for a fact, had more revisions than were displayed in the virtual viewer.


Any thoughts? Will changing product versions help?

Best,
Rahul

Rahul,

I described at length some time ago issues I was having regarding your first problem, my reaching out to Microsoft, and how they fixed it in the 2020 version. So I suspect that upgrading would help. I haven't had issues with revisions being underreported since the huge overhaul in July--I'm not sure which version that was. I suggest sending a document to the disability address at Microsoft, but I almost guarantee you that they will first tell you to upgrade to the latest version of Jaws.

Message-ID: <12B44634-5212-4B33-9DFD-3FF3D8BA1B1E@gmail.com>

Hello, 

I'm wondering if anyone can offer any tips for navigating the calendar in Outlook. I'm using Office 2016 and JAWS 2020. When I'm in the calendar view, I have trouble seeing more than two appointments on a given day. I can change to active view, which helps, but I can't seem to access appointments that have already occurred from this view. And list view shows me past appointments, but it starts with things going back to my first month working here, and they don't seem to be logically sorted. I'm very open to the possibility that operator error is to blame here. Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Also, I am really having trouble in spellcheck, both in Outlook and in Word. Is there really no way to hear a spelling error in context anymore? I hope I am just missing something. 

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Angie,

This can be a little tricky to supply advice because some changes have been made with versions of Outlook.  However, I believe I have my calendar set to the Month view, and I use the ARROW keys to navigate to the date I want.  The view is laid out as a calendar, so the DOWN ARROW and the UP ARROW go to the next and the previous week while the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys move day by day.

To check what is happening on a given date, I press the TAB key.  Each press of the TAB key brings me to another event on that date.  However, if there are more than two events or so, they won't fit so I have to press the "Overflow" button to see the rest of the events.  I have found that even though the "OVERFLOW Button" is described as a button, I have to press ENTER to activate it.  Pressing SPACE on it seems to do nothing.  

When an event is focused, the Context or Applications key brings up options that apply to that event such as "Join Skype Meeting" or "Reply to All" and such.  If I need to see more details about the event, I press ENTER.

Does this help at all?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Steve, this is indeed helpful, because what you describe with navigating and tabbing between events is exactly what I am experiencing. I do have one question: How do you access the overflow button? This isn't announced for me as I tab from event to event. After I pass the second event, JAWS generally announces the current date, no matter what day I'm looking at. Should I be happening upon this overflow button automatically, or do I need to take some action to get there? 

Thanks, 

Angie

Angie,

You should be getting to it by tabbing.  It should be encountered as the last event of that day.  It is possible that JAWS is not correctly announcing it, though, so when you hear the current date you could try pressing ENTER to see what happens.  

I use Outlook most heavily on my work computer and I have to make a VPN connection and such to see my mail, so I'll double-check what I am hearing when I do some work tomorrow morning.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Steve, this is indeed helpful, because what you describe with navigating and tabbing between events is exactly what I am experiencing. I do have one question: How do you access the overflow button? This isn't announced for me as I tab from event to event. After I pass the second event, JAWS generally announces the current date, no matter what day I'm looking at. Should I be happening upon this overflow button automatically, or do I need to take some action to get there? 

Thanks, 

Angie

However, I believe I have my calendar set to the Month view, and I use the ARROW keys to navigate to the date I want.  The view is laid out as a calendar, so the DOWN ARROW and the UP ARROW go to the next and the previous week while the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys move day by day.

However, if there are more than two events or so, they won't fit so I have to press the "Overflow" button to see the rest of the events.  I have found that even though the "OVERFLOW Button" is described as a button, I have to press ENTER to activate it.  Pressing SPACE on it seems to do nothing.

Message-ID: <CAGZitz+j6viOZSwvzZ-n2tfnS4UdkUdY6t5ZNANXYWwAY6htCg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all

I'm sorry to post this again but I would be really grateful if you
would share your experiences with Relativity and any tips you have for
using it with JAWS and/or NVDA with me. I need to use it for a project
directly on starting back to work and would be grateful for your
assistance with this.

If the reality is that Relativity is not accessible, I wonder if
contact has been made with the developers? I would be happy to do so.

Kind regards

Ger

 etc)
Message-ID: <CAF3H7MOu5g7c2nAB6S=H4ZuCrmyywoPjDfX4AufqeFJXAxUa_Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

My name is Jenn, and I’m a current undergraduate interested in learning
more about healthcare law and potential careers and opportunities in this
field. If you know of anyone who works in this legal field (malpractice,
health policy, etc.) I’d really appreciate if you connected me to them.


Wishing you a happy New Years,

Jenn
