[blindlaw] case management

[Susan Kelly]

Our case management software is completely inaccessible as well.  My secretary creates duplicate files for me in WOrd so that I can access the documents, which I then set up in my own One Note files.  It is a laborious process, but pretty much the only way to deal with.  I have heard that some of the programs can be scripted, but unless the school (or you employer, in the future) is willing to pay for this AND the program is sufficiently logical to allow easy navigation once that is done (and ours is not easily navigated, even by sighted users), it is probably the best workaround to have the duplicate Word files.

Hey guys, I am entering in to my last semester in law school, and I will be participating in the legal defense clinic at my school. However, the case management system that the school will be using is not compatible with Jaws and I will be the first blind law school student graduating from my law school. What can I do now to help me overcome this issue because I would like to be a state prosecutor or a public defender after passing the bar exam?
