[blindLaw] Legal Server

[Jen Barrow]

Hi Julie. My experience has been the same as Sanho. I'm sorry you're encountering the issue you describe. I've used LegalServer daily for several years with JAWS and have not had a lag problem. I used it first with IE, now mostly with Chrome. Are you accessing it in person on the org's computer or remotely through the web on your own laptop with your own internet? Perhaps try both ways if you have only tried one to see if the problem persists. If sighted people also have a lag problem when they scroll, something quirky might be going on with the org's LegalServer account that hasn't been addressed because it's not overly disruptive to others. LegalServer has its own tech support that your org's tech support can contact for assistance. Almost every element of LegalServer is customizable per the org's needs, so hopefully they can identify if there is a problem with your org's configuration.

Julie, 

LegalServer should not be lagging. I've used it every day for over a year. It's never presented me with any problem whatsoever. Could we have a phone to go over it in realtime? I'll message you my number.
