Hi Angie,

I talked to the IT folks at the firm, and they've said it's no problem
to start me off with FileSite on my computer. I don't know what
they're running, but do you know what version you're using? I just ask
because it looks like they will figure out how to install whatever we
know already works.

Thanks,
chris

All,

For anyone practicing in Pennsylvania, is there a way to reliably use
the PA Courts UJS Portal to get access to docket sheets? When I do a
search, clicking on the link to preview the sheets on a case does not
do anything. I have had occasional success, but it appears to just be
random. Is there some trick to it or is there an accessible site? I am
using NVDA.

Message-ID: <CABmXorTyJZMb-X+ayxhu2BcDoEDqHwQS0fc1scwfxZyNcB7evg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I need advice from lawyers regarding my medical records.

I requested my full medical records from Kaiser Permanente and they sent me
a secure email to download it.

Problem, its not my records. Somebody else'a and now the concern is where
are mine or if it was sent to this other person or whomever. All of my
medical records (years).

I already called their member services (since the medical records
department is not responding and just goes to a voicemail box which is
already full) and reported the problem.

I want to have proper documentation regarding this and it is concerning
that my full medical records are I don't know where.

I'm in VA. Anyone who knows how to properly deal with this matter or point
me to the direction, if you could email me off list.

Thank you,

Georgia

Subject: [blindlaw] Update on Track Changes in Microsoft 365
Message-ID: <CAHG6wD6a-vot7yp4WNY_WkqaiGK9KJrDziGefyeUruhWBq8b_w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I am very happy to report some extremely positive changes on the Track
Change front.  I just met with members of Vispero and Microsoft for
two hours to review many of the changes that we have proposed.  Almost
all of them are implemented in the latest version of Jaws that was
just released today.  As I expected, these are only being implemented
in Microsoft Office 365.   I highly encourage everyone who is
experiencing difficulties with track Changes to work with their
employers to obtain Office 365 as a reasonable accommodation, and
folks at the Microsoft Enterprise answer Desk should be available to
field any questions and to verify that in fact Office 365 is the most
fully functionable, accessible version of Office with Jaws.  Anyway,
here are the changes I verified.

1. Jaws now displays the **correct!** number of revisions in a
document in a mere matter of seconds. We tested this with a document
with 406 revisions.  Jaws almost immediately announced the number, and
I had to wait about four seconds for the full list to load.  Game
changer.
2. Jaws now announces the revisions in-line exactly where they occur,
instead of just stating "revision" or "insertion" at the beginning of
the line.  Jaws also now announces font change attributes immediately
following the change.  A few notes on this:
a. In the virtual viewer list, Jaws still just says "revised
property."  But they know how to fix this and aim to have it addressed
in the June release.  But to reiterate, the precise font changes are
announced in-line as you scroll with Jaws using the arrow keys.
b.  Currently, the font attribute change is also displayed in words on
the Braille display.  This is cumbersome, especially in legal
documents.  They are going to try to figure out a way to toggle
whether that information is displayed in Braille.  Again to be clear,
this only occurs when you're looking at font attribute revisions, not
every time you make a font change when track changes aren't on.
3. And now the moment we've all been waiting for... Footnotes are no
longer sluggish!  **and** you can actually select text!  Same goes for
comment bubbles!  Notes.
a.  This currently only works in all markup.  It does not work in
simple markup.  They are aware of this and know how to change it, and
aim to have it addressed in the June release.
b. To change mark up modes, hit alt, r, t, d, then arrow down to
select the mark up mode you desire.
4. cursor routing buttons work in footnotes, dots 7-8 no longer
display throughout the entire footnote, and Braille marking properly
works in footnotes.
5. You can now access revisions in the footnotes.  You have to have
all markup selected, and you have to be in the footnote pane when you
call up the virtual viewer.  They are working on a way to have them
accessible from above the line as well.
6. Jaws announcing revisions even when track changes are off:
Currently, this is occurring because control+shift+e is a Microsoft
keystroke that tells the program to stop tracking changes, but even
when it's off, the underlying "code" is still there so that the
revisions will display again once you turn the feature back on.  Jaws
still has acces to that code, even if you toggle track changes off,
and sometimes this causes confusion.  If this happens, change markup
to no markup by hitting alt, r, t, d and arrowing down to no mark up.
That should solve it.

The teams are also aware of the issue regarding pasting large amounts
of text into comments causing the programs to crash.  They aim to
address that as well.

Again, I am sorry that we will not be seeing changes in 2016 or 2013,
but this honestly is a quicker and more robust solution than I ever
expected, and i am very pleased.

Thanks,

 latest version of Jaws--introduces new track change bug **into
 Microsoft Word 2016 only**
Message-ID: <CAHG6wD5MLgVV+KgxjfoYboOBQHCVmVxjUoekDgwWd-kbXrg8xw@mail.gmail.com>

Folks,

In my hurry to send out the earlier email (which I sent from my phone
while in the meeting), I accidentally misspoke.  The newest version of
Jaws, which wasn't meant to address anything about track changes in
Microsoft Office 2016, apparently "broke" something **only** in
earlier versions, not Office 365.  No one had any more information
than that, but suffice it to say that I was told to tell anyone using
MS Word 2016 not to upgrade because the track change experience would
be negatively impacted.

Vispero has written scripts in the short term, which you can write to
me for if you happen to have upgraded and now find yourself in a bind.
I have permission to share them.  They aim to release a patch ASAP to
fix whatever happened.

Laura

Thank you for this great news and, most importantly, for advocating so diligently with Microsoft and Vispero to improve the accessibility of Track Changes. I can’t wait to test out the fixes!

a.  This currently only works in all markup.  It does not work in
simple markup.  They are aware of this and know how to change it, and
aim to have it addressed in the June release.
b. To change mark up modes, hit alt, r, t, d, then arrow down to
select the mark up mode you desire.
4. cursor routing buttons work in footnotes, dots 7-8 no longer
display throughout the entire footnote, and Braille marking properly
works in footnotes.
5. You can now access revisions in the footnotes.  You have to have
all markup selected, and you have to be in the footnote pane when you
call up the virtual viewer.  They are working on a way to have them
accessible from above the line as well.
6. Jaws announcing revisions even when track changes are off:
Currently, this is occurring because control+shift+e is a Microsoft
keystroke that tells the program to stop tracking changes, but even
when it's off, the underlying "code" is still there so that the
revisions will display again once you turn the feature back on.  Jaws
still has acces to that code, even if you toggle track changes off,
and sometimes this causes confusion.  If this happens, change markup
to no markup by hitting alt, r, t, d and arrowing down to no mark up.
That should solve it.

The teams are also aware of the issue regarding pasting large amounts
of text into comments causing the programs to crash.  They aim to
address that as well.

Again, I am sorry that we will not be seeing changes in 2016 or 2013,
but this honestly is a quicker and more robust solution than I ever
expected, and i am very pleased.

Thanks,

Adding my thanks for your efforts.  I am very dependent on track changes.

Subject: [blindlaw] Correction; latest version of Jaws--introduces new track
change bug **into Microsoft Word 2016 only**

Folks,

In my hurry to send out the earlier email (which I sent from my phone while
in the meeting), I accidentally misspoke.  The newest version of Jaws, which
wasn't meant to address anything about track changes in Microsoft Office
2016, apparently "broke" something **only** in earlier versions, not Office
365.  No one had any more information than that, but suffice it to say that
I was told to tell anyone using MS Word 2016 not to upgrade because the
track change experience would be negatively impacted.

Vispero has written scripts in the short term, which you can write to me for
if you happen to have upgraded and now find yourself in a bind.
I have permission to share them.  They aim to release a patch ASAP to fix
whatever happened.

Laura

Laura,

Thank you so much for tirelessly working with Vispero and Microsoft on this. And actually not just working on this, but getting this implemented. I have Office 365 on my personal laptop, and I just tested all that you mentioned. And it worked like a charm!

Generations of lawyers who have to deal with large documents on a day to day basis will bless you forever. I have been writing to them since 2013!


As far as pushing for reasonable accommodation is concerned, can we have this somewhere documented publicly, so that it is easier for us to convince our employers? In the firm where I work for instance which is based in India, we are still on Office 2013, and I cannot expect them to migrate everyone on to Office 365 as it is a huge volume licensing cost. But I am going to give it a shot!

Regards,
Amar Jain

Dear all,

I am very happy to report some extremely positive changes on the Track Change front.  I just met with members of Vispero and Microsoft for two hours to review many of the changes that we have proposed.  Almost all of them are implemented in the latest version of Jaws that was just released today.  As I expected, these are only being implemented
in Microsoft Office 365.   I highly encourage everyone who is
experiencing difficulties with track Changes to work with their employers to obtain Office 365 as a reasonable accommodation, and folks at the Microsoft Enterprise answer Desk should be available to field any questions and to verify that in fact Office 365 is the most fully functionable, accessible version of Office with Jaws.  Anyway, here are the changes I verified.

1. Jaws now displays the **correct!** number of revisions in a document in a mere matter of seconds. We tested this with a document with 406 revisions.  Jaws almost immediately announced the number, and I had to wait about four seconds for the full list to load.  Game changer.
2. Jaws now announces the revisions in-line exactly where they occur, instead of just stating "revision" or "insertion" at the beginning of the line.  Jaws also now announces font change attributes immediately following the change.  A few notes on this:
a. In the virtual viewer list, Jaws still just says "revised property."  But they know how to fix this and aim to have it addressed in the June release.  But to reiterate, the precise font changes are announced in-line as you scroll with Jaws using the arrow keys.
b.  Currently, the font attribute change is also displayed in words on the Braille display.  This is cumbersome, especially in legal documents.

Message-ID: <529A2E8B-03E9-4994-8500-1BF1C0F442FA@gmail.com>

Hi All,
I'm about to finish my third year of college as an English major and am considering the possibility of going into law. I secured myself an internship at my campus's law school, which begins at the end of May. I will be working to promote disability rights, but also performing general tasks such as writing memos, updating social media, and making phone calls. I will be one of very few interns.
I typically use my iPhone connected to my Braille display, for most tasks, but also have a Dell laptop. I just wanted to ask how much work you do with a phone and Braille display, and how much work is necessary for the computer.
Thanks,
Vejas

Subject: [blindlaw] Adobe Sign Accessibility
Message-ID: <mailman.52.1771245458.733174.blindlaw_nfbnet.org@nfbnet.org>

Colleagues,

Have any of you had any luck e-signing documents using Adobe Sign with a screen reader? If so, could you please share any workarounds you used to interact with the signature panel? I have no trouble selecting recipients, typing my message, or uploading files for signature, but once I navigate to the next screen where signatures need to be added, I can navigate to, but not interact with, any of the signature fields with the latest version of JAWS or NVDA. I’ve been accessing Adobe Sign on-line through Chrome, not in Acrobat itself.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am expected to e-sign contracts and send out to customers on a client’s behalf. The client doesn’t know I am blind, and if I don’t have to, I would prefer not to disclose this in case it would make the client feel apprehensive in any way, potentially jeopardizing the relationship. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Michal

Hello all,

I sort of figured it was only a matter of time until this happened,
but I've recently noticed a marked uptick in the number of embedded
images (unaccompanied by explanations) that have made their way into
cases and briefs I have been reading.  These aren't even always purely
pictures; they are oftentimes tables or other charts that easily could
be rendered in an accessible fashion or easily described in-text.  Has
anyone else noticed this?   I think this is going to be a problem of
increasing magnitude as the years go by and we should probably jump on
it sooner rather than later.

Last year, I researched the issue of whether the Adobe signature-signing process is accessible .  I found that Adobe itself acknowledged that the process is not accessible.  I have to have someone help me with the parft of the process that requires using a mouse.  Some of the process is accessible to  me using JAWS but when it comes to the part that requires drawing a box for the signature, it is not accessible.

All,

For those of you who need to do lots of citing, I am curious what your
preferred manner of access to the Bluebook is. Bookshare has copies of
the 19th and 20th editions. Unfortunately, neither the DAISY nor the
BRF files contain formatting indicators like itallics and bold; and if
you know anything about legal citation, you know these can be critical
(and annoying). I had the online version of the Bluebook in school,
but I do not anymore. Besides that version, what do you all use if not
the Bookshare one?

I had my state library for the blind transcribe the bluebook in Braille. I recommend subscribing to the online version of the Bluebook. You could ask for reimbursement for this from your employer as a reasonable accommodation.

I do use the online version which is quite inexpensive. Jaws can be set to read the italics so i have had no issues with that version.

Online version.  Inexpensive and portable.

To an extent, yes. I remember taking a legal writing course a few years ago that offered the multi-media approach to brief drafting. Our textbook sampled a brief that had pictures of a monument, with the brief acting as tour guide of the structure. That being said, the important legal points could still be made sans pictures.

I did not encounter too many embedded graphics or images in briefs when I was clerking. The most notable case was a child pornography matter, where the purportedly offending photograph was part of the appendix. I think you are not really talking about these types of briefs though.

At my firm, we have a fairly traditional approach. Motions and briefs are verbal. The main exception would be expert report submissions, which have the entire range of visuals.

The only other time that a table or chart is used in what I think is a productive way occurs in indictments and sentencing reports involving money laundering or structuring criminal offenses. These graphics can be fairly simple to negotiate, as their main purpose is to illustrate date, amount of money, and parties.

I will say, however, for internal work product, people love using proof charts and massive spreadsheets to create chronologies or summaries, i.e. making bulleted lists within a cell of a table. I find it a bit weird, since this gets visually very cluttered based on input from my non-lawyer friends. I am also of the opinion that law is meant to be a literary profession, so all these charts, with their color coding and flow diagrams, may obscure more than clarify.

Hello all,

I sort of figured it was only a matter of time until this happened,
but I've recently noticed a marked uptick in the number of embedded
images (unaccompanied by explanations) that have made their way into
cases and briefs I have been reading.  These aren't even always purely
pictures; they are oftentimes tables or other charts that easily could
be rendered in an accessible fashion or easily described in-text.  Has
anyone else noticed this?   I think this is going to be a problem of
increasing magnitude as the years go by and we should probably jump on
it sooner rather than later.

Laura

Hi,

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, exactly.  It's not
the use of charts etc in the documents that's the problem.  It's the
fact that, rather than having the actual chart, it is just an embedded
image.  So Jaws just says "detected object" or, if you're reviewing in
Westlaw "Image+giant string of numbers."  So, for instance, if you
were to read the following in a case:

"Plaintiff alleges that the defendant's actions caused him the
following damages over the course of the relevant ten-year timeframe:
Image2618294827328492.
Plaintiff's calculations, however, are incorrect."

You have no idea what the actual chart says, or what the purported
damages were, because it's just a screenshot or an embedded image of
whatever plaintiff submitted.

Does that make more sense?

I haven't encountered this in case documents, but given the increased use of screenshots and images containing text in professional scenarios (expense reports, receipts, etc.) and in online communications, it does not surprise me at all. Reversing this trend feels like a monumental task, especially when I can't even get my friends and colleagues who are mindful of my need for accessible documents to produce them.  Given that these embedded images are created by so many people and come from varied sources, how do you propose we attack the problem? Isn't it more complicated than merely educating our colleagues and courts regarding how to make documents accessible? Would we gain traction through the ABA? How do we address the fact that blind attorneys do not all have access to the same screen reading and OCR tools? I don't mean to be a downer. I am genuinely curious to develop a strategy to address this issue.

Laura,

That is what I thought you were talking about. I have noticed a few of those recently on Westlaw. I agree with you it is not a good trend and we should try to get out ahead of it. I will mention it to the research attorneys I know at the Court of Appeal here in Riverside, and see if I can get some dialogue started.

Laura:

Are you proposing that we approach Westlaw and Lexis with these concerns, or undertake a broader effort to get accessible documents? The few times an embedded image has rendered necessary text inaccessible, it has been in a document prepared and sent to me by judges or other attorneys, not in a document on Westlaw.

Hello all,

I sort of figured it was only a matter of time until this happened, but I've recently noticed a marked uptick in the number of embedded images (unaccompanied by explanations) that have made their way into cases and briefs I have been reading.  These aren't even always purely pictures; they are oftentimes tables or other charts that easily could be rendered in an accessible fashion or easily described in-text.  Has
anyone else noticed this?   I think this is going to be a problem of
increasing magnitude as the years go by and we should probably jump on it sooner rather than later.

Laura

Tai,

You're not being a downer, you're being realistic.  I don't have the
answers.  But I think this is another one of those efforts where our
collective creativity and brain power can help us.

For instance, every court has rules about forms and contents of
briefs.  So, for instance, on the Third Circuit, all pdfs were
supposed to be OCR'd.  Many were not.  I had the ability to deal with
them.  But if I didn't, we'd be perfectly within our right to kick the
brief and force the party to refile correctly.  We could strategize,
it would be laborious, yes, to try implementing accessibility
guidelines into these brief requirements.  I also think going to the
ABA would be helpful on the education front.  I just foresee this
becoming a bigger and bigger access barrier for the exact reasons you
note.

Ah, I understand. I think when file conversions happen from whatever is the word processor to final PDF or webpage, it could happen that the graphical content is coded in a way that just turns it into numbers and letters from JAWS' perspective. Westlaw, I agree, does not handle the tabular content well, and there is a way to render it into HTML code that JAWS could handle. I could let the Westlaw JAWS specialists know, but it helps if we have a bunch of people writing to them about the issue.


It may be harder to deal with this in PDFs, because the table may end up looking like an image for JAWS, even though that same document in Word would have a table that JAWS could navigate. I suspect Adobe may have to visit its conversion processes if we were to make any progress on this.

I am at a loss about screen shots other than gently telling people that it is not a productive format for the team because it is not a productive format for me. After a few emails saying I cannot read this, please describe, people do get the idea at my firm.

Hi,

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, exactly.  It's not
the use of charts etc in the documents that's the problem.  It's the
fact that, rather than having the actual chart, it is just an embedded
image.  So Jaws just says "detected object" or, if you're reviewing in
Westlaw "Image+giant string of numbers."  So, for instance, if you
were to read the following in a case:

"Plaintiff alleges that the defendant's actions caused him the
following damages over the course of the relevant ten-year timeframe:
Image2618294827328492.
Plaintiff's calculations, however, are incorrect."

You have no idea what the actual chart says, or what the purported
damages were, because it's just a screenshot or an embedded image of
whatever plaintiff submitted.

Does that make more sense?

I'm not proposing anything at the moment, just "spitballing," as they
say.  I think the first step would be to get a handle on the
problem--how it manifests itself, etc.  And that would, I think,
include finding out how Westlaw and lexis take PDFs from filed cases
and input them onto their databases.  Do they literally retype them
from scratch?  Rescan the PDFs?  There are probably a lot of questions
that would be helpful to know the answers to, but I'm not
technologically savvy enough to know what's worth asking.

Can you provide the contact for the Jaws specialists at Westlaw?  How
much experience have you had with them?  Do you find that they are
responsive and knowledgeable about a broad range of accessibility
issues or are they more likely to just know the answers to a finite
set of questions?  Thanks for this suggestion!

This is a really annoying trend in a world where everything is driven by social media conventions. I’m not saying it’s going to be a great solution, but using the image describer functionality in JAWS might be a workaround so long as the picture in question is not too garbled.
Respectfully,
Aser Tolentino, Esq.

Answers below:

Can you provide the contact for the Jaws specialists at Westlaw? Attached email. I have dealt most with Stephanie at present.

How much experience have you had with them? Moderate amount. I call/email if I notice anything peculiar with access or JAWS' behavior. I have been in contact with them for the past 6 years or so, bringing questions and issues to their attention. The one item I am still hoping Westlaw can address is the successful copying of cites from Westlaw into a word processor document. I feel there must be a way to do this!

Do you find that they are responsive and knowledgeable about a broad range of accessibility issues or are they more likely to just know the answers to a finite set of questions? They are very responsive and know the most about JAWS, how it operates, and what are the typical stumbling blocks for it. I understand that they have a laptop with JAWS installed to test out features, so any recommendations that they offer are grounded in reality. They seem to have more anecdotal knowledge about NVDA and Voice Over. As for other access technology or broader accessibility issues, I could not say because I have not had the occasion to ask about them.

The one caveat is that these two contacts are Westlaw reference attorneys, meaning that they are not IT people. However, they do work closely with IT and can communicate and demonstrate what is the experience of a JAWS user on Westlaw to IT.


Thanks for this suggestion! Here to serve.

Thanks to everyone for their kind messages!  They really mean a great
deal to me.  Honestly I think just having a real live person in the
room instead of talking over phone and email can make such a big
difference.

amar, I also really like your idea about trying to get either
Microsoft or Vispero to document that 365 is the most usable with
Jaws, especially in its advanced features.  We had briefly talked
about documentation in various respects, and I will raise it with them
again.

I have not encountered this often, but I have seen it. I tend more to run into the problem that absolutely everything where I work is web generated, printed out, and re-scanned into the digital file. This plays havock with any tables or forms, such that it is often more efficient just to ask someone what is on the paper. Just in general, I am not sure how these approaches benefit anyone, even the sighted.

I haven’t had a problem with this directly in case documents I’m working with. But I have seen it on Westlaw in regulations I work with regularly.

Actually, to add to my previous email, a regulation we are currently working on will include screenshots  of webpages that include all the elements that need to be filled out and submitted on web forms. I haven’t seen them yet, but it is my understanding that these documents will be given to us as screenshots  of the web forms rather than as the actual web forms.

Thank you, Noel. Have you found inserting signature stamps or signature blocks accessible? What about filling out signer data fields manually? I ask because it is my understanding that there are several ways to sign a document using Adobe Sign.

Last year, I researched the issue of whether the Adobe signature-signing process is accessible .  I found that Adobe itself acknowledged that the process is not accessible.  I have to have someone help me with the parft of the process that requires using a mouse.  Some of the process is accessible to  me using JAWS but when it comes to the part that requires drawing a box for the signature, it is not accessible.

Subject: [blindlaw] Adobe Sign Accessibility

Colleagues,

Have any of you had any luck e-signing documents using Adobe Sign with a screen reader? If so, could you please share any workarounds you used to interact with the signature panel? I have no trouble selecting recipients, typing my message, or uploading files for signature, but once I navigate to the next screen where signatures need to be added, I can navigate to, but not interact with, any of the signature fields with the latest version of JAWS or NVDA. I’ve been accessing Adobe Sign on-line through Chrome, not in Acrobat itself.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am expected to e-sign contracts and send out to customers on a client’s behalf. The client doesn’t know I am blind, and if I don’t have to, I would prefer not to disclose this in case it would make the client feel apprehensive in any way, potentially jeopardizing the relationship. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Michal

Hi all,

This embedded image thing is becoming quite problematic. As an articling student I have already encountered PDF transcripts with an embedded audio file that I spent almost an hour researching how to open, and twice someone has emailed me a screenshot.

The first time this happened I was confused. I am using outlook on a windows machine with Jaws, and there was nothing there, not even an image or anything. It just looked like the entire email was blank. Then I checked the email using my phone and found the image file, but it just read as an image file. I tried sharing this file to the drop box account, but couldn't for some reason. I had to share it through a different email account, and then I was able to put it in the drop box. From there I could use my computer to grab the file, and then convert it using kurzwell. The entire process took 90 minutes, but about an hour of that was figuring all of this out for the first time. Nonetheless, it brings up a relevant point that was being made awhile ago. This is not billable work, but it needs to be done. How do we ensure that a system is in place that doesn't require excessive effort on our part, and that is fair. What standards need to be developed and enforced, and how will all of this relate to intellectual property, and corporate freedom. Now that I've passed the bar, I have time to ponder these larger issues.
  
All the best,
Ben

Answers below:

Can you provide the contact for the Jaws specialists at Westlaw? Attached email. I have dealt most with Stephanie at present.

How much experience have you had with them? Moderate amount. I call/email if I notice anything peculiar with access or JAWS' behavior. I have been in contact with them for the past 6 years or so, bringing questions and issues to their attention. The one item I am still hoping Westlaw can address is the successful copying of cites from Westlaw into a word processor document. I feel there must be a way to do this!

Do you find that they are responsive and knowledgeable about a broad range of accessibility issues or are they more likely to just know the answers to a finite set of questions? They are very responsive and know the most about JAWS, how it operates, and what are the typical stumbling blocks for it. I understand that they have a laptop with JAWS installed to test out features, so any recommendations that they offer are grounded in reality. They seem to have more anecdotal knowledge about NVDA and Voice Over. As for other access technology or broader accessibility issues, I could not say because I have not had the occasion to ask about them.

The one caveat is that these two contacts are Westlaw reference attorneys, meaning that they are not IT people. However, they do work closely with IT and can communicate and demonstrate what is the experience of a JAWS user on Westlaw to IT.


Thanks for this suggestion! Here to serve.

Denise...can you send this to your list serves.  We sent to our Law Pathway community colleges, but thought you may have others.  Although the program is focused on college students to introduce them to law, it also needs practicing attorneys as mentors.

 

Thanks so much.

 

Warmly,

Ruthe

Subject: RE: The Coelho Center Disability Law Fellowship

The Coelho Center Law Fellowship Program is launching this Summer 2019. Central to the mission of The Coelho Center for Disability Law, Policy and Innovation is bringing together and fostering the development of leaders from our disability community. In particular, we believe in creating a strong pipeline of law students with disabilities who will go on to serve as attorneys, judges, public policy professionals, and politicians. Our ultimate goal is to increase representation in policy spaces where decisions are being made. 

As the disability rights slogan goes, "Nothing About Us Without Us!" or more aptly "Nothing Without Us!" because people with disabilities belong in every sector of society, including the legal profession. We need disabled voices in law schools, in law firms, in the courts, on the bench, in the Congress, in legal academia and beyond! 

In order to do so, we need to strengthen the pathway into law school for students with disabilities. Too often, students with disabilities are discouraged from attaining higher education. Educational barriers, along with negative assumptions and attitudes, dissuade our community from reaching careers in law and policy.

This has to change. Our program targets early-year college students with disabilities to intervene and provide encouragement, support and mentorship that is crucial to success.   

Currently, there is no program like The Coelho Center Law Fellowship Program whose specific mission is to train and mentor college students with disabilities to think about a path toward law school.

Our program offers:

*	a one-week summer intensive course at Loyola Law School;
*	an academic-year-long virtual course; 
*	a mentoring program between the fellows and law students and attorneys with disabilities;
*	academic planning and support through the law school application process; and,
*	a $1,000 stipend to be used for school supplies. 

Deadline to apply: Monday, May 27, 2019 at 11:59 pm PST

Hello Katherine: 

 

It’s great to hear from you.  I’m so proud of you and the work you’re doing with the disability demographic in the legal profession.  Why don’t you give me a link or flyer I can forward to the LA-area Community Colleges?  We can get the word out to the Pathway Network.

 

Thanks Katherine!

Dear Ruthe and Leslie, 

 

I’m kicking myself for not reaching out sooner.  Our application for the Disability Law Fellowship has gone live as of last month, and our deadline is quickly approaching on Monday, May 27th.  

 

We haven’t gotten many applications as of now.  I’m hoping that you are able to help us spread the word either by sharing this with your network or sharing some of your contacts with me, so that I may reach out to them.  In particular, we’d like to get this information out to community colleges in the LA area.  Though, all college students with disabilities are eligible to apply.  

 

All the information about the program as well as the application can be found here: https://www.lls.edu/coelhocenter/lawfellowsprogram/

 

It was such a pleasure to meet you earlier this year at the Pathways event at LLS / the reception!  I’m still in awe and filled with so much appreciation for the work you do, and I hope that our program heads for the level of success.  

 

Sincerely,

Hi Denise,
Thanks for posting this. Loyola Law School is the sister campus to my college, Loyola Marymount University. I have a summer internship at the Coelho Center that starts at the end of May. During or after my internship, I will be happy to answer anyone's questions about the structure of the center.

The way my office signs documents digitally using Adobe does not allow me to paste in my digital signature.  I have to go through the actual Adobe signing process, which requires drawing a box with a mouse and is not accessible.  So, every time I need to sign a letter, I have to ask a sighted person to assist with the process.  I would be delighted to hear if someone has figured out a way to make the process accessible.  Perhaps there is a way to do it with a keyboard that I am not aware of.

Thank you, Noel. Have you found inserting signature stamps or signature blocks accessible? What about filling out signer data fields manually? I ask because it is my understanding that there are several ways to sign a document using Adobe Sign.

Last year, I researched the issue of whether the Adobe signature-signing process is accessible .  I found that Adobe itself acknowledged that the process is not accessible.  I have to have someone help me with the parft of the process that requires using a mouse.  Some of the process is accessible to  me using JAWS but when it comes to the part that requires drawing a box for the signature, it is not accessible.

Colleagues,

Have any of you had any luck e-signing documents using Adobe Sign with a screen reader? If so, could you please share any workarounds you used to interact with the signature panel? I have no trouble selecting recipients, typing my message, or uploading files for signature, but once I navigate to the next screen where signatures need to be added, I can navigate to, but not interact with, any of the signature fields with the latest version of JAWS or NVDA. I’ve been accessing Adobe Sign on-line through Chrome, not in Acrobat itself.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am expected to e-sign contracts and send out to customers on a client’s behalf. The client doesn’t know I am blind, and if I don’t have to, I would prefer not to disclose this in case it would make the client feel apprehensive in any way, potentially jeopardizing the relationship. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Michal

Over $3 Million Paid to Individuals in Disability Settlement With Greyhound
Department of Justice, Office of Public Affairs
May 2, 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Department of Justice today announced that payments totaling $2,966,000 were issued to over 2,100 individuals who experienced disability discrimination while traveling or attempting to travel on Greyhound. The payments were part of a broader settlement from 2016 resolving the Department's complaint that Greyhound Lines Inc., the nation's largest provider of intercity bus transportation, engaged in a nationwide pattern or practice of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to provide full and equal transportation services to passengers with disabilities. The alleged violations included failing to maintain accessibility features on its bus fleet such as lifts and securement devices; failing to provide passengers with disabilities assistance boarding and exiting buses at rest stops; and failing to allow customers traveling in wheelchairs to complete their reservations online.

"The Department of Justice is committed to eliminating disability-based discrimination in transportation services," said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division. "This settlement ensures equal travel opportunities for those with disabilities through holistic reform."

The $2,966,000 amount is in addition to $300,000 paid by Greyhound in 2016 to specific individuals identified by the Department, bringing the total distributed to individuals to over $3,000,000. This sum stands in addition to a $75,000 civil penalty paid by Greyhound to the United States. The settlement also mandated a series of systemic reforms, including that Greyhound hire an ADA compliance manager; provide annual in-person ADA training to employees and contractors who interact with the public; provide technical training to all employees and contractors on the proper operation of the accessibility features of Greyhound's fleet; and report every three months to the Department of Justice on its compliance efforts.

To read the consent decree and complaint, please visit https://www.ada.gov/enforce_current.htm#grey. For more information about the ADA, call the Department's toll-free ADA Information Line at 800-514-0301 (TDD 800-514-0383) or access the ADA website at www.ada.gov.

Hi everyone,
My agency is getting ready to start using SharePoint as our online
library, to store documents, to collaborate on documents, to access
documents remotely, etc. Does anyone have experience using SharePoint
with JAWS and a Braille display? I don't use screen magnification;
just JAWS and Braille display. I couldn't find any material in the
JAWS help system concerning SharePoint. I will reach out to FS/VFO as
well but thought I'd start here to see if anyone has experience using
SharePoint.
Thanks.
Shannon

Hi Shannon,


Here is Microsoft's support article on SharePoint accessibility. I 
haven't played with it enough to know if this actually works though:

As I recall, there was a resolution a couple years ago about this. I think back then they said that newer versions of share point  were accessible, but that the federal government was using an older version which was not accessible. It might depend on the version they are using. I recall that when I used to work for a nonprofit, we used SharePoint for a project, and I found it to be very unusable.

Have a great day.

I think it also depends on any sort of customizations that may be implemented on your agency/firm's Share Point. For many tasks, I cannot comfortably use our setup.

I work for the federal government and our agency use SharePoint and I absolutely hate it! And I believe we’re using 365 now but it’s still awful.

Hello all, just curious what sort of exam accommodations i can expect on the mpre and bar exam. I decided to take the mpre after 1l year and requested jaws and a computer based exam. I was granted jaws but they said they would provide a scribe to write dictated answers onto the scantron.

I’ve never had to do an exam this way and i’m wondering whether i have to accept that accommodation. In particular, how can i verify that the scribe marked out the scantron the way i instructed? If i am completing the exam myself using a computer based tests, any mistakes filling out are my own.

Thoughts?
Shane

Shane:

I don't know how the NCBE's stance has evolved over the years, but they have always been hesitant to provide computers for the MPRE. Absent a compelling reason why the scantron and scribe is inadequate, it may be difficult to prevail on this point. The ADA does not guarantee us our preferred accommodation. That said, I think you should argue the point. 

I used a Braille test booklet and scratched out the letter of my selected answer. I believe I also had a Brailler to write them down. The proctor/scribe sat with me in a private room. I gave the scribe my selected answers as we went along. At the conclusion of the test, we went through all the answers on the scantron to verify they matched my selections. I did not request the use of JAWS so I am not much help on that point. However, it does seem that the NCBE is much more likely to grant use of JAWS on the bar exam than on the MPRE. Be aware that whatever you request for the MPRE will set the stage for your bar exam requests. NCBE will expect you to use similar accommodations for the bar exam and might push back if your requests are very different. In my experience, the NCBE was reasonable if you provided detailed explanations for your requests. Good luck.

As I understand it, they are already doing this as a trial with full implementation within the next two years. IMHO If they want to argue the point it is kind of Moot.

Subject: [blindlaw] Accommodations for MPRE

Hello all, just curious what sort of exam accommodations i can expect on the mpre and bar exam. I decided to take the mpre after 1l year and requested jaws and a computer based exam. I was granted jaws but they said they would provide a scribe to write dictated answers onto the scantron.

I’ve never had to do an exam this way and i’m wondering whether i have to accept that accommodation. In particular, how can i verify that the scribe marked out the scantron the way i instructed? If i am completing the exam myself using a computer based tests, any mistakes filling out are my own.

Thoughts?
Shane

Shane,
   I requested electronic copy of the test on a computer with JAWS,
and a scribe to fill out my answers on the scantron. I typed up my
answers on the electronic exam as I went along so that I could go back
and check my answers with the scribe. It worked fine for me. I think
this is the most simple and accessible way to do it. They sent their
own laptop with jaws and the exam already loaded on it in word format.
It took a couple of minutes to get used to the keyboard layout on the
laptop, and the JAWS settings were a little different than what I
usually have on my personal computer, but everything worked out fine.

Lyft Says It’s ‘Not in the Transportation Business,’ So Disability Law Doesn't Apply
Gizmodo
May 3 2019
By Patrick Howell O'Neill

We’re in the season of multi-billion-dollar rideshare IPOs where the spotlight is on global and unprofitable transportation companies like Lyft and Uber as they try to get into the black. Let’s check in with how the process is unfolding.

Excuse me, I’m sorry, my notes here say that actually, Lyft is not in the transportation business. Sure, the company moves you from place to place by various means, but those are just details, the San Francisco firm’s lawyers argued in court recently.

In response to multiple discrimination lawsuits, Lyft argued that “it is not in the transportation business” and therefore should not be troubled by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Instead, Lyft argues, it is a technology company.

Might it be that Lyft is actually a transportation technology company? Presumably, they would loudly scoff at the idea but Lyft didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The comments, first reported by Politico, come from a lawsuit filed in 2017 by Harriett Lowell of White Plains, New York, who is suing the company for failing to serve people with disabilities both in her hometown and around the United States.

For the sake of posterity, here’s the statement highlighted in a court filing by Lyft from March 30: [embedded file]

Just for fun, let’s take a look at page 3 of the S-1 form Lyft recently filed with the SEC in the lead-up to the company’s $25 billion IPO: [embedded file]

Oh! Okay. That sounds like a not-transportation company to me. Case closed.

The distinction matters. A “transportation company” has strict obligations under the ADA. A mere app maker, Lyft argues, doesn’t have to worry about all the red tape that comes with providing accessible options for people who need them.

In addition to the New York lawsuit, the company also faces another in California claiming it discriminates against disabled individuals. If it says “not a transportation company” enough times, does that make it true?

Hello Listmates,

I will be in D.C. the weekend of June 15 for a firm get-together. I know several of you practice in the D.C. area, so I would love to take advantage of this opportunity to meet up with as many of you as possible for dinner on either Thursday, June 13 or Friday, June 14. Please let me know if you are interested and, if so, which day works better for you. Please also suggest some good places to meet, as I am not familiar with the area. I look forward to hearing from you and to having a blast in D.C.

Hi Mitchell: 
It would be great to get together, whatever the size of the group. DC is quite a foodie town, and transportation options are good. If you would like to bounce around a few ideas, feel free to call me.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for responding to my post and for the info about D.C. I will give others a few days to respond, and then I will be in touch with more details. I’m glad to hear that you are interested in joining the group and look forward to meeting you.
Best,

Subject: [blindlaw] codification of website accessibility in State law
Message-ID: <CALE5T_uPyyPRJQ+H9aBNKS2M8-owxDw-SyyhCDyQV6mq44FQag@mail.gmail.com>

Good afternoon,

I am writing to see if anyone in this group has thoughts regarding the
adoption of website accessibility standards into state law.There has been
discussion of proposing a bill to accomplish this in New York State for
places of public accommodation. I know a couple state have passed laws
codifying Section 508 and the WCAG accessibility standards for government
entities. I am also aware of the happy failure of legislation in Virginia
that would have addressed some public accommodations but included an
offensive notice and cure provision.

I am advocating that any legislation in New York not even consider notice
and cure. I would like to hear from this group on 1. if you think adoption
of Section 508 and WCAG are good enough (assuming the law accounts for
updates in the standards), and 2. if not, what should website accessibility
laws include?

Sincerely,
Kathryn Carroll, Esq.

I was having the issue wee have been discussing with track changes with jaws in windows 10 and office 2016. I called freedom scientific about it before seeing Laura‘s message addressing the issue regarding updating jaws if you have ms office 2016. Freedom scientific of course ran me through the usual tests before escalating it. By the time I talked to the escalation support person, I had seen laura’s  email, but couldn’t find it again to get the specific information I needed. So I asked the escalation supor person specifically if they didn’t have a fix because Ithought I had heard that there was a fix for my situation. He said repeatedly no, they only could recommend me upgrading to office 365. Then, I found the emailfrom Laura and emailed Laura to get the Scripps. I looked at the directions in the email. They seem to apply to my situation so I asked freedom scientific about them. And I asked why I hadn’t been told that this was a possibility even though it was a known issue that directly related to my situation. Below is the email they sent in response. I’m really disappointed about this. They should have shared the information with me and let me know it was an option.

Subject: [blindlaw] Kaplan LSAT prep course
Message-ID: <CAFKMa7FD8VzpkL0j6Jce71=UrhOn+jAwMmmKTigyisoA1gJdEw@mail.gmail.com>

Good evening all,

I hope this message finds you all well.
I am an undergraduate student beginning to prepare for the LSAT. My
university just awarded me a scholarship specifically for the purpose
of taking a Kaplan LSAT prep course. Have any of you taken a course
with Kaplan either in-person or online? If so, I would love to hear
about your experiences (the good and possibly the bad). Did you
encounter any barriers requesting accommodations? Did you have
positive experiences with the instructor(s)? Thank you in advance for
any insight you are able to offer.

Best,
Kenia Flores

Civil Rights Division (CRT)
Disability Rights and Special Litigation Sections
Washington, District of Columbia
Announcement #: 19-ATT-006
Application Deadline: May 31, 2019

DRS and SPL are each seeking one or more experienced attorneys for these positions.

The attorneys selected will be dedicated to the selecting Section's work pursuant to the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control ("HCFAC") Program, with an emphasis on the Section's matters that seek to enforce compliance with the ADA's integration mandate by preventing unnecessary segregation of persons with disabilities in institutions such as mental health facilities, nursing facilities, and other congregate settings. Applicants who wish to be considered by only one of the Sections should identify that Section in the applicant's cover letter.

The incumbent will be responsible for duties such as, but not limited to: (1) personally handling sensitive and/or complex investigations, litigation, and negotiations; (2) contributing to the development of strategies and priorities for HCFAC and Olmstead enforcement; (3) coordinating with other federal agencies to develop strategies for effective and efficient information sharing and case referrals; and (4) conducting outreach. The incumbent will be responsible for screening and developing new matters, conducting comprehensive investigations involving in-person visits, interviewing witnesses, working with experts, analyzing data, drafting written recommendations including legal analyses, litigating Olmstead claims and negotiating, monitoring, and enforcing settlement agreements. Litigation associated with these investigations is typically complex, involving extensive discovery, pretrial motions practice, preliminary injunction hearings, trials, and post judgment enforcement. This position requires travel and may require extended hours.

Dear all,

Has anyone here taken the GRE general test before? I'm planning to take it soon.

I need to know what kind of accommodations do they provide, as the
information provided on the ETS website is a bit vague.

Please let me know if anyone has taken it before, and can help me out.

TIA,
Maitreya.

Yes, but it was about 13 years ago. I think everything is different now. 
At that time, the only options were Braille and a human reader. I didn't 
have any problem getting accommodations. I did, however, enter a 
Kafkaesque nightmare, when I attempted to retake the test to obtain a 
higher score. First, they attempted to have me retake the exact same 
version of the test I previously took. Somehow, this struck me as highly 
unethical. Then, they ran the wrong form number, causing me to get the 
score I would have received for signing my name. By the time the matter 
was resolved, several graduate programs had made admissions decisions. 
Thankfully, one of the programs I actually liked still was able to take 
my accurate score into account. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Do they still recommend that blind applicants attempt to waive the GRE 
requirement? Because that's a great idea--that is, if your goal is to be 
denied admission.

I recommend posting this question to the email list for the National Association of Blind Studeutns. I believe you can subscribe to that list by sending a message to nabs-l-subscribe at nfbnet.org and you can find information about the list on the NFBNet page listing all NFB email lists.

Subject: Re: [blindlaw] Queries about Accommodations in the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)

Yes, but it was about 13 years ago. I think everything is different now. 
At that time, the only options were Braille and a human reader. I didn't have any problem getting accommodations. I did, however, enter a Kafkaesque nightmare, when I attempted to retake the test to obtain a higher score. First, they attempted to have me retake the exact same version of the test I previously took. Somehow, this struck me as highly unethical. Then, they ran the wrong form number, causing me to get the score I would have received for signing my name. By the time the matter was resolved, several graduate programs had made admissions decisions. 
Thankfully, one of the programs I actually liked still was able to take my accurate score into account. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Do they still recommend that blind applicants attempt to waive the GRE requirement? Because that's a great idea--that is, if your goal is to be denied admission.

Message-ID: <CAKUobR5RgYSmxrd6ibP5pANk4rSzwcPPc-d6wCDXa-Rn6T6khQ@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings all,

   I just got a call from the Iowa Board of Bar Examiners about the
accommodations I requested on the bar exam. They told me that they
would provide me with a laptop with JAWS and ILG Exam360 Software
installed on it. I have never used JAWS together with ILG 360Exam for
tests.
Do any of you have experience with this software? Is it accessible
with JAWS? They said that it can be used in an unsecure mode where it
does not block JAWS. But I don’t understand why I need to use the
software if it is going to be in unsecure mode anyway.
Thoughts, suggestions, please send them my way!

Thanks,

I highly recommend Power Score over Kaplan.


Email me privately, I can give you my phone number and talk more about it more efficiently than typing it.

James,

I was thinking of getting a 5th gen ElBraille 40 when they come out in the next month or so. Are you not pleased with your ElBraille? I was considering a  surface instead as I could use it in my backpack with a braille display on my lap. Any thoughts?

Best regards,
Aimee

Thankfully, the Braille display can be powered on without booting up the entire machine. I have found that pairing it with my iPhone makes far more sense than trying to memorize the 10,000 new Jaws commands that I would have to learn to use it effectively as a full-blown Windows machine.

>> With all due respect, the BrailleNote Touch is already obsolete in today's highly technological world.  All Braille notetakers are behind the times and lack the capabilities of most modern tablets available to the general public. Generally, they  have less storage and fewer functions than tablets released even five years ago! The ability to run operating systems like Android is a nice touch, but unless that functionality is perfectly integrated, it doesn't work well and apps either never work with the units or begin crashing. If I were recommending technology to today's up and coming law students and attorneys, I would not recommend a notetaker specifically designed for the blind, but rather a good Braille display and tablet of some sort, in addition to a good laptop. For advanced users, an iPad or Surface  Pro can nearly replace use of a laptop, though I myself still prefer a laptop for many tasks. I use a 40-cell Braille display, iPad, iPhone, desktop computer, and an ultraportable laptop running JAWS. Purchasing all of these items would cost as much, or less, than a Braille notetaker and provide more flexibility and functionality. Just my opinion.

The ElBraille has a ton of new commands to learn. I wish there has been 
a model with a QUERTY keyboard. I probably just need to bite the bullet 
and learn the commands I would use most often. Unfortunately, that's 
hard to do when in the midst of litigation. I think your idea makes a 
good deal of sense. But I don't see a problem with getting an ElBraille, 
if you have both the time and desire to get up to speed on the various 
commands. I honestly don't know much about its performance, but it's 
definitely not as fast as a normal PC or presumably a Surface.

Since this thread has re-opened, a couple of questions:

1) Does anyone know how to keep the Touch from disconnecting from the iPhone? If I use the Touch as a terminal, it works the first time; but if I exit the terminal mode, and then enter it again, the phone will not reconnect. I have to go into the phone itself and remove the device and then re-pair it.

2) For anyone who has used it, does it interface well as a Braille display with Windows? I have not generally used a Braille display with a a PC but am beginning to think it might be the right way to go in certain parts of my job.

I did not use this for my bar exam; I had a proctor and used regular Word documents on an encrypted drive that was provided to me. I would ask if that is a possibility or if there is a way to test the software first—you do not want to run into problems on exam day.

Kelby,
   I think I am just going to ask them to let me take the test on
word, and then they can do whatever they need to do with it. The
person in charge of the accommodations request told me that he would
be willing to let me write my answers in word, and then he would get
it to them in whatever format they need it.

   Thanks for the suggestions.
   Nijat

Agreed, Powerscore is much more helpful. I have taken both of these courses. However, I believe this student can glean at least some helpful study strategies from the Kaplan course if she is willing to adapt it with her own shorthand code for the visual aspects of the course.

I highly recommend Power Score over Kaplan.

This looks like a great opportunity for someone with a background in health data privacy, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Civil Rights Division (CRT)
Appellate Section
Washington, District of Columbia
Announcement #: 19-ATT-010
Application Deadline: June 21, 2019

The Civil Rights Division's Appellate Section is seeking experienced attorneys.  The Section represents the United States in both civil and criminal civil rights cases in the federal courts of appeals. Many of the Section's cases are appeals from district court judgments in cases originally handled by the Division's trial sections, and the Section works cooperatively with the trial sections in those cases. The Section also monitors federal civil rights cases in which the United States is not a party.

The incumbent, under appropriate supervision, will represent the United States in the enforcement of federal civil rights laws in the United States Courts of Appeals, and will work closely with the Office of the Solicitor General to represent the United States' interests in civil rights cases before the United States Supreme Court. Cases in which the United States is a party may be criminal or civil in nature. The incumbent also will review cases in which the United States is not a party for possible participation as amicus curiae in the courts of appeals and the Supreme Court, and will prepare recommendations for the Office of the Solicitor General. The incumbent will provide legal counsel on civil rights or related legal issues to Division trial sections, Division and Department leadership, and to other federal offices as required. The incumbent also may be called on to assist in trial-level litigation in cases of unusual complexity or importance. The position involves significant legal writing responsibilities, including preparation of internal memoranda, briefs for the courts of appeals, and other court filings.
