Hi all,

I worked at DOD office of the general counsel, international affairs division my 1L summer. I was welcomed with open arms and had an awesome experience. But, and despite my bosses wanted it to be possible, I was not able to do JAG. But there are plenty of opportunities to otherwise be a lawyer in the national security space. 

Best regards
Derek

Meaning why I was not able to do JAG?  

For the reasons that were explained on the list earlier. Officers in the active military have to be able to serve in a combat role if needed, even if they are in a non-combat position. I thought it was dumb and discriminatory before I got there, but I agree with the policy now. Being in the military comes with a lifetime of benefits, and JAGs, for example, do go to combat zones even if they aren’t in active combat positions. I’m sure I could survive in an army base in Iraq for example, but I get why the military would be hesitant to have a blind lawyer serve in that role. JAGs aren’t just desk jockeys in DC, they are often adjacent to the battlefield, and our enemies abroad won’t give us reasonable accommodations to do our job. 

Best regards
Derek

I was under the impression that in World War II, the military had women serving in noncombat positions, and the assumption at the time was that women would never go into combat. How is it that now an attorney might end up having to pick up an AR 15 and go to  fight? How is it that there is no space for noncombatants anymore in the military?

And the other question that comes to mind is why  can’t blind people  be allowed to assume those kinds of risks like their colleagues.

I’m not speaking for all non-combat roles, but JAGs do carry guns when oversees from time to time and some of the ones I’ve met served in active war zones.  I believe the military can and should be integrated, to a degree, but JAGs are a special case in my opinion after having worked alongside side them at DOD.

I am for a partial integration tailored to other factors.  It seems like environments in which civilian contractors are permitted should also be opened for other classes of enlisted people.  We have varying degrees of national security clearance.  Perhaps degrees of enlistment are appropriate.

Hi,
I serve as the Chair of the Blind Federal Employment Committee, and someone asked us to look into your question a few years ago.  Essentially, as others have said on this list, JAG Corps attorneys are required to be combat and deployment ready at any time.  They are sometimes assigned duties that have physical requirements that relate to combat.  I'm familiar with dozens of such attorneys personally who have to do everything from munitions to driving tanks to repelling into dangerous areas.  That is not to say that blind people couldn't do those things, but as the laws are currently written, blind people are not permitted to do those things and the argument made is that accommodations would so fundamentally change the nature of the work so as to render this an undue hardship on the agencies.  

Because attorneys can serve in the defense fields and agencies without being JAG officers, including prosecuting cases before military tribunals, the argument is that people with disabilities are not in fact shut out of this sort of work.  The argument the Government makes is that there are two parallel tracks - one as a JAG Corps member and one as a civilian, both with significantly similar duties distinguished only by the combat readiness component.  There are a number of blind attorneys throughout DOD.  

So I suppose the question I would want to know is: What specific areas to you believe blind people are being shut out of in the defense lawyering arena?  If we had a better idea of where those areas are, perhaps we could work to make sure that blind people are able to get those jobs.  Or is it the nature of JAG work itself that you think should be opened up to the blind?  If so, that's going to need to be a legislative and regulatory fix, not simply an education and advocacy one.

Subject: [blindLaw] Some questions about the modalities of making legal
 filings accessible
Message-ID: <CADFycPZNDz9RjNjSec0Y+MQLnU5AeOBS2PVa2XCCg0AKUJLesg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, Everyone,

I recently started clerking on the Indian Supreme Court. One
accessibility issue that I am struggling with is this. My
understanding is that lawyers prepare their PDF filings by printing
out their work product and then scanning it. As opposed to simply
converting their filings from word to PDF. As a result, a lot of text
is difficult to decipher. Illustratively, one counter affidavit, in
pertinent part, reads as follows:
"starkly perceptible signs of influence with regard to
allocation of cases to dffirent benches selectively, lo
select judges who were perceived to be politically
biased." .
Such a disclosure creates an obligation ror every citizen to
defend the independence of the Supreme Court.
A copy of the Times of India report, "We felt then CJI was
being remote controlled; Justice Kttrian Joseph", dated 3'd
December 2018 is annexed as Annexu ,, C+ (lll't?7)."

As you can see, some words are muffed up. The annexure number
containing the Times of India report is also unclear. My sense is
because they did not convert this document from word to PDF while
filing and instead printed and scanned it. Is that right?

Second, some scans are also in pixelated form, making their quality
poor. Illustratively, part of an annexure reads as follows:
"AND WHEREAS the Govemmc~nl of India has daclded to provide certain
rela>:atlons for industnal ar.\’.! commercial acl1\·if1es from 20th
Aprfl. 2020."

Would asking for the filing of a typed copy of annexures of this
nature be the best solution?

Finally, I am wondering how accessible you find consolidated PDFs. By
consolidated PDFs, I mean a PDF that is a compilation of multiple
PDFs. One PDF containing the impugned judgment, one cotaining the
appeal and so on. As opposed to a single PDF containing everything.
Happy to discuss this off-list if that would be more helpful.

I am going to talk to the Justice I am working for later this week and
propose some solutions. And want to do my homework before I do this.
Thank you.

Rahul

All,

 

We appear to be seeing some signs of success in advocating for bar examiners
to accommodate online exams and work around the ExamSoft program.  If you
are being told that you must test in person to get accommodations, know that
others are having preliminary success in getting accommodations for an
online solution.  There is no reason for an in person requirement when
modern technology can enable an online remote proctoring solution.

Hello blind law knowledge fount:

I will do my best to keep this brief. my central question is, is there a digital textbook resource, other than book share, to which I can gain access? not surprisingly, the accessibility resources office on my soon to be law school campus has mucked up the process of gathering books. I will spare the details but I feel compelled to figure out if I can get what I need myself. They only have one of the three assigned doctrinal books on book share.  

If I do not have the books that I need in time, can I assume that I will be able to look up the cases that we are reading in the early days through either lexis or Westlaw? Perhaps Google scholar? Thanks very much for any help you all may have to offer! The kind words and varied  perspectives to which I am exposed through this list have done so much to Bolster my confidence as i  make my way into this brave New World.

Sincerely,

Maura Kutnyak, M.P.A.

Hi Maura,

I am not sure if Learning Ally has law books, but you could try there.

Can your law library scan in the chapters you need until you get the entire book scanned? I did this a few times in law school.

Barring that, Westlaw should have most, if not all, the cases you need. Your school's Westlaw rep is a good person to get you set-up and provide some initial training.

Regards,
Nikki

My Law School‘s disability services was able to get most books directly from the publisher. This made the process a lot simpler. Is that not what they are doing?

Bruce, that is the process. It is a process that I am accustomed to because that’s how it was done during my undergraduate and graduate degrees. The problem is, they gave me the wrong list two months ago. I purchased a book which I now know will not be used in my contracts class. I do not have a lot of faith in the person whose responsibility it is to get the books. She has been unreliable about responding to emails and see above mistake. So, I’m just wondering if I can take matters into my own hands. I don’t really care if I have to spend money, of course free is always preferable. I just don’t want to have to grapple with these folks if I don’t have to.

One question, should I do reply, or reply all? On this list that is.

Sincerely,

Maura Kutnyak, M.P.A.

Good afternoon,

If you have to purchase the books,  you can check to see if the required edition is available in an accessible format through the Kindle store.  

I had less success dealing with West, but that was several years ago.

Luis,
Attorney Emeritus

I have found westacademic.com and vitalsource.com to be good resources for accessible textbooks. I was able to find all of my 1L textbooks on these sites, and their online ebook format worked pretty well for me. I think you can download the books in epub format as well. Good luck with the start of law school!

Maura,

I strongly recommend you take advantage of all available resources to try to get the books. While you can access the cases through Westlaw and other legal databases, the casebooks have condensed versions focusing on the most important aspects of the opinions. If you end up reading the full cases, it will take you a lot more time. The books also have annotations and other useful material you won’t find elsewhere.

Good luck.

Michal

Also, be sure to obtain access to the recommended horn books for your courses. Hopefully you can get them through the disability services, but if not, the resources mentioned on this thread for your course books are also excellent sources for horn  books and other helpful legal studies.

While you can access the cases through Westlaw and other legal databases, the casebooks have condensed versions focusing on the most important aspects of the opinions. If you end up reading the full cases, it will take you a lot more time. The books also have annotations and other useful material you won’t find elsewhere.

Hello all,

Below is an unhelpful  response I received from Westlaw stating that
one cannot copy both the quote and citation--including the pin--at the
same time. It also states that there is no guide on how to use it with
an accessible svreenreader.

I have heard otherwise, that options for these exist.

Any ideas?

Sincerely,
Seif

Dear Seif,

There is not an option to for JAWS to Copy with Reference - copy the
language and then get the citation with the pin cite unfortunately.
The Copy Cite option is what is available with JAWS - I will pass
along as feedback the request for Copy with Reference with JAWS.  We
do not have a accessibility guide for JAWS and Westlaw unfortunately -
If you have questions for navigating or would like to set up a

Thank you; I appreciate your response.
That is good to know. However, my question is on how to copy the quote
and the citation for that case including the pin cite at which that
quote is found.

Is there an accessibility guide outlining these and other topics?

Hi Seif,

On copying language with reference, this does not work with JAWS. I understand that someone on this list found a way by using JAWS' multiple cursors, but the method remains cumbersome and likely unintuitive. I know a number of us have repeatedly asked Westlaw to fix this aspect of the platform. It would be such a great feature to have work with screen readers. I am not sure what is the roadblock, whether a technological shortcoming or bandwidth of the Westlaw developers. Ideally, JAWS coders and Westlaw developers would work on this aspect together to find a solution. I do use the “copy citation” button located on any page of a legal reference to do exactly that, and I find that this does save me some time.

On the lack of an accessibility guide, that may be correct, though understandably annoying. I am not aware of a JAWS guide to Westlaw. I learned how to use Westlaw like my sighted peers. After an initial training, I played around on the platform. For things I could not quite figure out, I contacted the reference attorneys, including the ones who are knowledgeable about the operation of JAWS. Aside for the litigation analytics tool, which is something I have never had to use, Westlaw is pretty accessible.

Regards,
Nikki

The Social Security Administration Office of the General Counsel (OGC) in Seattle, Washington is seeking to hire attorneys in fiscal year 2020 (between now and the end of September 2020).



Our mission



Our mission is to promote, advocate for, and protect all legal interests of the Social Security Administration (SSA) and safeguard the personal information maintained by the agency. Our commitment, creativity, and hard work enable the agency to administer benefits and provide financial protection to over 60 million individuals.



Our work



Our office has approximately forty attorneys who primarily handle civil litigation and provide legal advice to various agency clients. The majority of Seattle OGC’s day-to-day work involves defending disability claims denials, which are challenged in federal district courts and sometimes appealed to federal circuit courts of appeals.



Attorneys’ primary duties will include researching, drafting, and editing federal court briefs. This work involves extensive legal research of federal case law, regulations, agency policies, and medical terminology. Attorneys also have the opportunity to handle other practice areas such as:



•Labor and Employment Law: advising agency managers regarding personnel matters such as employee misconduct, performance problems, grievances, and discrimination complaints; handling discovery and hearings in related litigation.



•Legal Opinions: researching and drafting legal memoranda regarding the proper operation of SSA benefits programs.



OGC attorneys might also analyze requests to release agency information, pursue allegations of misconduct by SSA claimants’ representatives, investigate allegations of civil rights violations, and help prevent the discharge of SSA overpayments in state and federal courts.



Our workplace



We value respect, collegiality, and employees’ continued professional development throughout their careers. We have a family-friendly environment that provides many options to achieve work-life balance. These options include teleworking several days a week, alternative work schedules (e.g., 4/10 and other options), and flexible hours. Starting salary typically ranges from $70,120 to $129,926, depending on experience.



To apply, please send your resume, cover letter, law school transcript, writing sample, and (if applicable) proof of veteran’s preference to OGC.Seattle at ssa.gov<mailto:OGC.Seattle at ssa.gov>.

Hello everyone, 

I'm a digital accessibility specialist and attorney at Thomson Reuters. I'd like to give you all a little more information about this Westlaw question. 

First of all, we recently released a button on both Westlaw and Westlaw Edge that allows people to copy the full citation for a case to their clipboard. The accessible name of the button in Edge is "Copy document citation to Clipboard." If you haven't used the button yet, it might be in a different technical state, and have the accessible name "Copy menu." I'm not sure because I've changed my default. The button also contains a dropdown that gives you the option of copying either the case citation or the URL for the document. Upon selecting one of the options, it becomes your default. 

Second, I want you to know that everyone who has communicated with us regarding the Copy with Reference frustration was heard. I'd like to tell you what we've done so far. A while ago we spent months researching how to resolve this. How Copy with Reference works is that when someone using a mouse selects text, a popup is automatically generated when a user stops highlighting text with their mouse and releases the left mouse button. 

As you probably know, when JAWS is used, most actions like this have taken place only inside the JAWS buffer, and that action doesn't get communicated out past the JAWS buffer. So while you can highlight text with JAWS using the keyboard, that selection doesn't move out from the JAWS buffer and get communicated to the browser. This matters because without the message moving to the browser, the popup is never triggered. We worked through many possible solutions, but ultimately could not get past the security issue that we created by opening the clipboard to the browser. We reported this issue to the Clipboard spec team with the World Wide Web Consortium ("W3C") and logged a bug with them because we felt the clipboard spec should address this security breach. We also reported this to Freedom Scientific. Ultimately, and to our frustration, the technology did not support a solution. 

Recently JAWS released some new functionality that may be a game-changer for us and may allow us to resolve the Copy with Reference issue. We are again investigating to see whether technology will support delivering the popup without using a mouse. 

Please continue reaching out to us with questions, comments, complaints, or anything on your mind about accessibility. We are committed to being inclusive and accessible. You can use westaccessibility at thomsonreuters.com to email us any time. I'm in that email group as well as the Reference Attorneys mentioned in the chain below. We love hearing from customers and value your insights and input enormously. 

Thank you for reading through this long post! 

Kim

Hello all,

Below is an unhelpful  response I received from Westlaw stating that one cannot copy both the quote and citation--including the pin--at the same time. It also states that there is no guide on how to use it with an accessible svreenreader.

I have heard otherwise, that options for these exist.

Any ideas?

Sincerely,
Seif

Dear Seif,

There is not an option to for JAWS to Copy with Reference - copy the language and then get the citation with the pin cite unfortunately.
The Copy Cite option is what is available with JAWS - I will pass along as feedback the request for Copy with Reference with JAWS.  We do not have a accessibility guide for JAWS and Westlaw unfortunately - If you have questions for navigating or would like to set up a training please reach out to myself or Jennifer Ibanez.

That is good to know. However, my question is on how to copy the quote and the citation for that case including the pin cite at which that quote is found.

Is there an accessibility guide outlining these and other topics?

Hi Seif,

On copying language with reference, this does not work with JAWS. I understand that someone on this list found a way by using JAWS' multiple cursors, but the method remains cumbersome and likely unintuitive. I know a number of us have repeatedly asked Westlaw to fix this aspect of the platform. It would be such a great feature to have work with screen readers. I am not sure what is the roadblock, whether a technological shortcoming or bandwidth of the Westlaw developers. Ideally, JAWS coders and Westlaw developers would work on this aspect together to find a solution. I do use the ?copy citation? button located on any page of a legal reference to do exactly that, and I find that this does save me some time.

On the lack of an accessibility guide, that may be correct, though understandably annoying. I am not aware of a JAWS guide to Westlaw. I learned how to use Westlaw like my sighted peers. After an initial training, I played around on the platform. For things I could not quite figure out, I contacted the reference attorneys, including the ones who are knowledgeable about the operation of JAWS. Aside for the litigation analytics tool, which is something I have never had to use, Westlaw is pretty accessible.

Regards,
Nikki

Subject: [DRBA] CREEC looking to sponsor a fellowship attorney

 

Hi everyone,

 

CREEC’s Immigration Detention Accountability Project is hoping to sponsor someone seeking fellowship funding and we’ve put together the below page to share with interested law students/judicial clerks/lawyers who might want to apply this cycle.

 

See here: https://creeclaw.org/fellowship-opportunities-at-creec/ <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__creeclaw.org_fellowship-2Dopportunities-2Dat-2Dcreec_&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=s5QK9IQgNwEFlBe_v3nvlN6X0hCyODsvMzxRV83xUmI&m=DLI1HRlTLZFKSkb45Qp_ffj4ZeSH8wMmifCaUT3sLqs&s=AqpegrsKuAq_mwwnkB88qfwE4DRd8MrYeC1Jah-b_Lg&e=> 

 

As a reminder, we do disability and constitutional rights work in support of immigrants incarcerated by ICE – everything from systems change litigation to individual representation and limited advocacy, with a heavy dose of public education and support for building organizing power. We consider ourselves abolitionists in orientation. Looking for a fearless advocate with similar goals to join us, ideally in our Denver office whenever it reopens. Please help us spread the word!

 

Best,

Pilar

One thing to note with EPUB files: if the syllabus refers to page numbers of the textbooks, you won't be able to find them as EPUB books typically do not contain page numbers.

I had a lot of luck with my library obtaining hornbooks and exam practice books directly from West; I encourage you to take advantage of this if at all possible.

If you end up reading the full cases, it will take you a lot more time. The books also have annotations and other useful material you won’t find elsewhere.

Hi everyone: 

Just a quick and possibly redundant, thank you!!! I sent a similar message, or thought I did, last week. I saw it in my drafts folder a couple days ago so I’m not sure if it ultimately came through.  these messages have provided lots of ideas and supplied me with a very useful list of options. Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Maura Kutnyak, M.P.A.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to legal visitation and access to counsel for those detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The ABA Commission on Immigration has developed two handbooks designed for lawyers and advocates to support them in asserting their detained clients’ rights to access to counsel. This webinar will introduce the detention standards, highlight some of the reoccurring challenges that counsel and clients face during the pandemic, and consider best practices for utilizing the handbooks and best strategies for overcoming access to counsel issues in the ICE detention facilities.

Safely re-opening k-12 schools during a global pandemic has presented a unique challenge for states and districts around the country. Many schools have already resumed in-person learning and are working to keep students and staff healthy and socially-distant. But, concerns about the return to school this year are not just about students and staff members' physical safety. States and districts are also considering questions raised regarding civil rights, including free speech, access to quality instruction, and school discipline policies, among many others.

 

Policymakers, families, and district leaders are grappling with how to best approach the return to school. Proposals have ranged from "pandemic pods" to hybrid learning approaches. But, there are potential consequences for various approaches, including: a shift to focus on remediation or deepening segregation as students who have other alternatives to in-person learning exercise them. As students return, it is imperative to examine these issues.

 

This webinar will feature researchers, civil rights advocates, and other stakeholders who will discuss civil rights considerations at the forefront of this year's return to school. Please join us for this conversation.

Civil Division
Alexandria, Virginia
Announcement #: 20-EDVA-10892118-AUSA

An appointment with the U.S. Attorney's Office offers unique and challenging experiences for the highly motivated attorney; an opportunity to work on their own caseload and appear in court.  Working in the Civil Division, the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) will primarily focus on enforcing the ADA to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in the Eastern District of Virginia.  The AUSA may also enforce other civil rights statutes. The AUSA will be responsible for handling matters from the investigative stage through settlement and/or litigation. The AUSA may also engage in outreach and training activities.

This is a TERM appointment which will be funded for one year from the start date of employment.  However, in the event that additional funding is received, this position may be extended, or made permanent, without further competition.

> During this pandemic, a host of issues can arise that implicate the ADA. Screening job applicants for COVID symptoms, asking questions about whether an employee is at a higher risk due to an underlying medical condition, and addressing reasonable accommodation and undue hardship, are examples. The pandemic and its associated business challenges raise numerous questions under the ADA and other EEO laws.

> Identify the basic legal concepts of the ADA
> Understand what disability-related inquiries and medical exams are permissible

> Identify the legal requirement of providing "reasonable accommodations" to employees with disabilities in this pandemic era.

Thanks for sending this, however the registration button is not a working link, although more importantly the cut off for this registration mentions it was yesterday. Is there a recorded version folks can get after the fact, do you know?

Message-ID: <CAHG6wD7eopsTtpbj734C_igrTVYL2j17suiMgPyw0FXknsfTtQ@mail.gmail.com>

All,

I just registered for DC's mandatory ethics course for new admittees.
I would love to speak with someone with no usable vision who has taken
the course recently and can speak to its accessibility.  I learned,
only after registering, that I am to write down five random codes that
display on the screen during the course.  How have people handled
this?  And is hte ocurse itself accessible?  I plan to reach out to
the DC bar, but my experience has been that people are slow to respond
given the pandemic, and I only have 14 days to complete the course
before incurring outrageous additional boondoggle fees.  any
assistance is gratefully appreciatted.

Best,
Laura

Hi Laura,

I took this course in September/October of last year, and I was one of the first (if not the very first) to take the course in its current format with a screen reader. The codes you mention are imbedded in the video and are therefore completely inaccessible to screen readers. I was instructed to write short sentences summarizing each section of the course and email them to the appropriate person at the DC Bar.

While this process was disconcerting and not particularly well-documented, the individual I worked with was very responsive and quite helpful. I’m pasting her contact information below. Also, feel free to get in touch privately if you have any other questions about this.

Best,

Angie

Thanks for  getting back to me so quickly. This is just so disheartening and a classic example of what happens when universal design is not implemented from the ground up. I still have a month before starting my new job, so I just may make this my new hill to die on.

Hello Blind Law friends:

 

I have been contacted by a Canadian company which sells blindness products
and services who needs a lawyer in or licenses in Pennsylvania to handle a
small business matter involving failure to pay and other matters.  They
would really like to hire a blind lawyer.  So, if you are such an attorney
or know such an attorney, please contact me off list and I will make the
connection.

Last week, I had a similar thing happen with an ABA CLE.  Apparently, there were things that came up on the screen during the webinar, but I had dialed into the webinar and was accessing the content using a telephone so I did not know.  Afterward, I was told I could not get CLE because I had not responded to the prompts.  However, when I contacted the ABA, they fixed the issue.

This may be a new accessibility issue that we should all start paying attention to.

I agree. The same thing happened to me on a New York City CLE. I heard these
dinging sounds, but it didn't occur to me that I needed to do anything. I
probably did not get credit for the course.
The whole thing is ridiculous! They used to have verbal announcements of CLE
codes. I doubt many sighted people stare at their computer screens for two
hours or more.

I took this course a while ago now and I had the same issue. But I was able to get a hold of someone who emailed me the codes. I will say that the DC Bar was pretty quick and responsive.

Hi Laura,

I took this course in September/October of last year, and I was one of the first (if not the very first) to take the course in its current format with a screen reader. The codes you mention are imbedded in the video and are therefore completely inaccessible to screen readers. I was instructed to write short sentences summarizing each section of the course and email them to the appropriate person at the DC Bar.

While this process was disconcerting and not particularly well-documented, the individual I worked with was very responsive and quite helpful. I’m pasting her contact information below. Also, feel free to get in touch privately if you have any other questions about this.

Best,

Angie

Subject: [blindLaw] accessibility of DC's mandatory ethics course



All,

I just registered for DC's mandatory ethics course for new admittees.
I would love to speak with someone with no usable vision who has taken the course recently and can speak to its accessibility. I learned, only after registering, that I am to write down five random codes that display on the screen during the course. How have people handled this? And is hte ocurse itself accessible? I plan to reach out to the DC bar, but my experience has been that people are slow to respond given the pandemic, and I only have 14 days to complete the course before incurring outrageous additional boondoggle fees. any assistance is gratefully appreciatted.

Best,
Laura

Thanks for sending this, however the registration button is not a working link, although more importantly the cut off for this registration mentions it was yesterday. Is there a recorded version folks can get after the fact, do you know?

I should probably add that the AIRA agent used Team viewer to do it and just fastforwarded to where he saw the codes.  I understand that this inaccessibility shouldn't exist and whole heartedly support getting this changed, but I just wanted to reference AIR's ability to help to navigate the problem in the meantime

Good evening Ray,

I agree with you.  I ran into this problem with an ABA CLE course because I
switched screens so that I could take notes. Once I pointed out the issue I
did received  credit for the course. Lessoned learned though, now I use my
braille display note taking features, and hope that the prompt is audible
and the information is spoken. That should be  the standard approach.

Luis

I agree. The same thing happened to me on a New York City CLE. I heard these
dinging sounds, but it didn't occur to me that I needed to do anything. I
probably did not get credit for the course.
The whole thing is ridiculous! They used to have verbal announcements of CLE
codes. I doubt many sighted people stare at their computer screens for two
hours or more.

Last week, I had a similar thing happen with an ABA CLE.  Apparently, there
were things that came up on the screen during the webinar, but I had dialed
into the webinar and was accessing the content using a telephone so I did
not know.  Afterward, I was told I could not get CLE because I had not
responded to the prompts.  However, when I contacted the ABA, they fixed the
issue.

This may be a new accessibility issue that we should all start paying
attention to.

Subject: [blindLaw] accessibility of DC's mandatory ethics course

All,

I just registered for DC's mandatory ethics course for new admittees.
I would love to speak with someone with no usable vision who has taken the
course recently and can speak to its accessibility.  I learned, only after
registering, that I am to write down five random codes that display on the
screen during the course.  How have people handled this?  And is hte ocurse
itself accessible?  I plan to reach out to the DC bar, but my experience has
been that people are slow to respond given the pandemic, and I only have 14
days to complete the course before incurring outrageous additional
boondoggle fees.  any assistance is gratefully appreciatted.

Best,
Laura

Denise, 

Here is the link for the program; there is an issue:

The html email may have been corrupted at some point. LISTSERV is notorious for converting html to plaintext, and the hyperlinks it contained must have been wiped out. Registration for this program will be open until September 23, 2020. Here is the registration link: https://www.americanbar.org/events-cle/mtg/web/402536631/

Also, there might be an accessibility problem. I don't know if it was because the registration link is no longer valid or there was a problem in the first place.

I should probably add that the AIRA agent used Team viewer to do it and just fastforwarded to where he saw the codes.  I understand that this inaccessibility shouldn't exist and whole heartedly support getting this changed, but I just wanted to reference AIR's ability to help to navigate the problem in the meantime

Thanks for sending this, however the registration button is not a working link, although more importantly the cut off for this registration mentions it was yesterday. Is there a recorded version folks can get after the fact, do you know?

Hi Diana,

Are you saying that the codes were spoken out loud during the video? You did not need to use your vision to read them?

Hi Diana, 
We are talking about two different courses. The mandatory ethics course for new admittees is not generally available. I just took it this morning and can confirm that no codes are spoken out loud. I am in the process of communicating with the bar though, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

All, 

Good morning. Both the place where I work as well as the court's database both use graphical scans of documents. I have K1000, but many scans, presumably handwriting, are still a mess. What are your preferred solutions to the "bad scan" problem? 

Sanho

You might try Google Tesseract. There are supposed to be algorithms in that package designed to OCR handwriting. I can not vouch for its effectiveness, however; I'm only repeating something i've heard. For what it's worth.

All,

I have been in touch with some folks at the DC bar.  They have
promised to, within the week, update the course description page,
welcome emails, and accommodations descriptions to make it apparent
that visual codes are embedded within the video so that blind course
takers are not caught off guard.  They will also standardize their
method for handling such accommodation requests.  Not surprisingly,
the most difficult part will be to actually fix the issue, because, as
we all know, it's harder to retrofit accessibility than to just
implement it from the ground up.  But they have expressed a commitment
to fixing it.  I, of course, will make sure to follow up, but it's a
very encouraging message.  If anyone is planning on or is in the
process of waiving in, though, please be in touch, as your experience
will be the only way to verify that the issue has been fixed.

Thanks,

Laura

That's great news! It should have been done from the beginning but thanks for advocating for this now.

Subject: Re: [blindLaw] accessibility of DC's mandatory ethics course

All,

I have been in touch with some folks at the DC bar.  They have promised to, within the week, update the course description page, welcome emails, and accommodations descriptions to make it apparent that visual codes are embedded within the video so that blind course takers are not caught off guard.  They will also standardize their method for handling such accommodation requests.  Not surprisingly, the most difficult part will be to actually fix the issue, because, as we all know, it's harder to retrofit accessibility than to just implement it from the ground up.  But they have expressed a commitment to fixing it.  I, of course, will make sure to follow up, but it's a very encouraging message.  If anyone is planning on or is in the process of waiving in, though, please be in touch, as your experience will be the only way to verify that the issue has been fixed.

Thanks,

Laura
