[blindLaw] Westlaw and Accessibility

[Laura Wolk]

All,

What is the progress with Westlaw making the (very basic) Copy Cite
feature accessible?  This is on my short list of things that NABL
should be bringing its clout down , and probably should have years
ago.  If I added up all the seconds it takes for me to glean this
information that sighted people obtain with the click of a button...
I'd be getting a lot more sleep.  Not to mention, Westlaw is used in
every law school across the country for teaching purposes.  I'm still
not really sure how it and Lexis have not been the subject of
litigation on this point by now.

Along that same line, apparently like all other companies westlaw has
felt the need to update a not broken system to a new product called
"Westlaw Edge."

I'm sure peoples' firms will be forcibly converted over time to this
new platform.  Has NFB had any contact with the developpers to ensure
that we don't have another horror show where these "latest and
greatest" features are in fact not accessible and result in blind
lawyers not being able to do their jobs?

Thanks,
Laura
