[blindLaw] The blue book, blue booking

[lmendez716 at gmail.com]

Good afternoon:

Just a thought, but you might want to consider setting up an edit profile with all characters spoken if you are using a digital version of the Bluebook.  It might also help to use a braille display if you have access to one and know the modern braille code.

Hi Maura,

I am also a 1L, so I am just learning myself, but I am also using the digital version of the bluebook. Although the files can be clunky at times, they are accessible and can be navigated with Jaws quick keys.
I may be able to help give some pointers if you have questions about navigating the bluebook.

Feel free to send me a text anytime. Bluebooking can be tough going, and it's my understanding that the hardest time for it is the beginning.

Julie
