I used Khan Academy.
and purchased books via Ibooks. and scanned a couple physical ones. Then I
read them using VoiceOver. on a Mac and Ipad. I used a Mac for the exam
too.
LSAC also has free sample tests.

Good luck!

Subject: [blindLaw] JAWS and Outlook Calendar
Message-ID: <ae27409fa14944ffb7a9ea140d3464eb@reedsmith.com>

Hello everyone,

For some time now, I’ve noticed that JAWS does not consistently report the correct number of events to me for a given day when I’m viewing my calendar in Outlook. I called FS tech support about this, but they did not have any suggestions other than to try different views and maximize the window, neither of which resolved the issue. Apparently, this is a known issue with JAWS and some versions of Outlook. So I thought I’d see if anyone here has a good strategy for dealing with this. Thanks for any suggestions.

Best,

Angie

Thanks. The calendar app my firm uses for iOS is also accessible, but it takes a few minutes to view the information I need. I don't know if we can use Outlook for iOS, but I will check.

I have problems with the Outlook calendar as well. I use my iPhone to
read my Outlook calendar because I can quickly move through the events
for the day or the week. I can do most other things in Outlook with
the computer but I specifically use the iPhone to quickly and
accurately determine the events and times of events for the day or
week.

Thanks, Shannon. I used to use the iOS calendar app, but my current firm uses Blackberry Work for email and calendar access. The calendar is accessible in Blackberry Work, but it’s not as efficient as the iOS calendar app for me.

I have problems with the Outlook calendar as well. I use my iPhone to
read my Outlook calendar because I can quickly move through the events
for the day or the week. I can do most other things in Outlook with
the computer but I specifically use the iPhone to quickly and
accurately determine the events and times of events for the day or
week.

Hello, 
I will be attending law school in the fall, is there any Accommodations that I should know or ask for that would be helpful for my law school experience? Also, is there anyone here that attends a historically black law school? Your experience would be great to hear from!

Hello everyone,

For some time now, I’ve noticed that JAWS does not consistently report the correct number of events to me for a given day when I’m viewing my calendar in Outlook. I called FS tech support about this, but they did not have any suggestions other than to try different views and maximize the window, neither of which resolved the issue. Apparently, this is a known issue with JAWS and some versions of Outlook. So I thought I’d see if anyone here has a good strategy for dealing with this. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Nikki and everyone else who responded to my calendar question. I decided to play around with the settings in my Blackberry Work application (which is an iOS app, notwithstanding the name). I found a view in that app that seems to give me roughly the same functionality as I previously had with the iOS calendar app. This is a great improvement from the way the Blackberry Work app was set before (which required me to go through each day hour by hour to check my appointments). So I guess I will continue using that and not rely on JAWS and Outlook for an accurate representation of my schedule.

Thanks,

Angie

Ask about their exams. Do they use specialized software, and does it work with your accessibility needs?

My school allowed me to have an electronic copy of the exam on a usb drive; then I answered the questions in a word processer and saved it to the usb drive. That was all coordinated by an assistant dean.

You want to be as comfortable as possible when taking exams, so practice using whatever system you will be using before exam day. You don't want the frustrations of learning a new set up while your under exam stress.

If exams are your only grade, you want to give yourself every advantage. Good luck.

 

Onward!

Rob

Hi Angie,

What version of Outlook are you using? I have Outlook 365, and used to have that problem but have not noticed it lately. I have it set to month view. I just did an experiment and set six appointments on a day and it correctly reported the number. In that view, you use the arrow keys to navigate between dates, and then when you are on the date and want to know what the appointments are, you tab to each appointment in turn. Hit enter on a particular appointment to view or edit the details. At least that is how it works for me, though I know user experience can vary widely.

Hi Brian, thanks for this information. I currently have Office 2016, with no way to change to O365. I’m glad to hear you’re not experiencing the same thing—it’s good to know I might have a better experience if we upgrade.

Subject: Re: [blindLaw] JAWS and Outlook Calendar

Thanks Nikki and everyone else who responded to my calendar question. I decided to play around with the settings in my Blackberry Work application (which is an iOS app, notwithstanding the name). I found a view in that app that seems to give me roughly the same functionality as I previously had with the iOS calendar app. This is a great improvement from the way the Blackberry Work app was set before (which required me to go through each day hour by hour to check my appointments). So I guess I will continue using that and not rely on JAWS and Outlook for an accurate representation of my schedule.

Thanks,

Angie

Subject: [blindLaw] JAWS and Outlook Calendar

Hello everyone,

For some time now, I’ve noticed that JAWS does not consistently report the correct number of events to me for a given day when I’m viewing my calendar in Outlook. I called FS tech support about this, but they did not have any suggestions other than to try different views and maximize the window, neither of which resolved the issue. Apparently, this is a known issue with JAWS and some versions of Outlook. So I thought I’d see if anyone here has a good strategy for dealing with this. Thanks for any suggestions.

Best,

Angie

You should ask for what you believe you will need to succeed, providing that your request is reasonable. When it comes to accommodations, you should utilize others' experience as information and education but not necessarily a list of things that you should ask without first assessing whether the request will meet your needs. You have made it to law school, so you have a good idea of what has worked for you thus far. Too much deviation from that may be counterproductive, in my view.

Be ready to offer a reason or rationale to justify your requests. Be proactive. Be personable.

It'll be different for everyone. When I attended law school, I was assigned a private study room in the law library for my entire time there. I had all my AT equipment configured the way I wanted to. It was one of the best accommodations I received.


Rod,

Ask about their exams. Do they use specialized software, and does it work with your accessibility needs?

My school allowed me to have an electronic copy of the exam on a usb drive; then I answered the questions in a word processer and saved it to the usb drive. That was all coordinated by an assistant dean.

You want to be as comfortable as possible when taking exams, so practice using whatever system you will be using before exam day. You don't want the frustrations of learning a new set up while your under exam stress.

If exams are your only grade, you want to give yourself every advantage. Good luck.

 

Onward!

Hi Angie,

What version of Outlook are you using? I have Outlook 365, and used to have that problem but have not noticed it lately. I have it set to month view. I just did an experiment and set six appointments on a day and it correctly reported the number. In that view, you use the arrow keys to navigate between dates, and then when you are on the date and want to know what the appointments are, you tab to each appointment in turn. Hit enter on a particular appointment to view or edit the details. At least that is how it works for me, though I know user experience can vary widely.

Hello Angie - I run into that problem also.  However, I have set my Outlook Calendar View to show the day.  That allows me to use the tab key to move from appointment to appointment accurately for the day.  I can use the left and right arrow keys to move through the days, but JAWS announcement of how many appointments you have is not always accurate; and that is why I always tab through the day.  You can also use CTRL+G to move to a particular day and then tab through your appointments.

Randy

Yes, this is a problem.  Mostly I try to be thorough, and may check some things twice. I have also noticed, in the past, that when there are all-day appointments, things can get even less reliable, so be careful.

Subject: [blindLaw] JAWS and Outlook Calendar

Hello everyone,

For some time now, I’ve noticed that JAWS does not consistently report the correct number of events to me for a given day when I’m viewing my calendar in Outlook. I called FS tech support about this, but they did not have any suggestions other than to try different views and maximize the window, neither of which resolved the issue. Apparently, this is a known issue with JAWS and some versions of Outlook. So I thought I’d see if anyone here has a good strategy for dealing with this. Thanks for any suggestions.

Best,

Angie

Good evening,

The two accommodations I was not prepared to fight for in law school
were a human reader and fully accessible copies of my books.

I am about half-way through with law school now, and I am finding my
experience has improved so much with those two accommodations. I use a
human reader to help me when systems aren't accessible, Jaws doesn't
catch formatting or other errors, and to explain some visual concepts
to me. I know; you're thinking, you're crazy, it's law school. But
seriously, you are going to face the hardest formatting rules and the
harshest grading of your life. Ever heard of curved versus straight
appostrophes? Yeah, neither did I.

As for the books, most law schools like to get publisher copies of
books, and those are not always as accessible as they should be. If
you have patience, you can format them the way you want, but my books
came in files too large for my computer to open without crashing. And
most of them did not have page numbers. I had a professor whose TA had
to specifically contact me after every class my first semester to tell
me what cases to read because I couldn't get to the pages I needed by
number. I also really struggled following along in class when
professors pointed out examples. Therefore, I fought for page numbers,
and I am grateful I did.

So, think about the way you want your books formatted, if you want the
accessibility office to format them for you, etc.

I agree that it is important to know how exams are handled at your
school. Our university still lets us do exams online, and everyone
downloads them in a Word document and goes from there. But it is my
understanding that no exam software is accessible with assistive
technology.

Good luck!

Julie

Hello,

Think through a typical day in law school as well as the exam at the
end of the course. Are there braille, large print, or tactile  numbers
beside the doors? Where do you need to sit in class to see, hear,
etcetera? How will you access your books? Do you want someone on staff
to spot check your formatting before submitting papers? How will you
access formatting on your legal writing exam? Do you want a reader
available to you for a certain number of hours each week in the event
something goes wrong? Do you want your books converted by the Disabled
Student Services office or do you want them converted by the law
library, assuming you even get a choice? Do you want JAWS, NVDA, both,
neither, or something else entirely? Do you need a visual tool as well
as a non-visual reading solution? Do you have a high-end Optical
Character Recognition program like ABBYY or K1000? Who is your point
person when materials are inaccessible? Who's your point person when
tech is inaccessible? Who's your point person if a professor simply
does not want to release an accessible copy of a book they just spent
ten years writing because they're terrified you're going to give it
away for free? So on and so forth.

Warmth,
Sanho

I have problems with the Outlook calendar as well. I use my iPhone to read my Outlook calendar because I can quickly move through the events for the day or the week. I can do most other things in Outlook with the computer but I specifically use the iPhone to quickly and accurately determine the events and times of events for the day or week.

I have problems with the Outlook calendar as well. I use my iPhone to read my Outlook calendar because I can quickly move through the events for the day or the week. I can do most other things in Outlook with the computer but I specifically use the iPhone to quickly and accurately determine the events and times of events for the day or week.

Yay!
Congratulations!
Okay, So most of the classes are lectures and have a final exam which is
your entire grade.
But during your first year (1L) we also have Legal Writing and Legal
Research.
For the regular classes, I asked for PDF TextBooks, note taker. And for
exams, I asked to use my computer, exams in word format, and 100% extra
time.
Oh I was forgetting, I also asked for a reserve seat near the front.  I
have a guide dog and she needs space, I also rely on my ears to get the
info so the closer to the front the easier it is to hear.
Special perk is that you chit chat with Professors.   Get to know your
Professors forsure. Especially if you want to be a clerk for a judge
after graduation.

For Legal writing and research. Those are less credits but very tedious.
because there is lots of formatting and citation. Get the online version of
the Blue Book legal citation. For legal research my professor used lots of
screenshots and was super visual so I had to meet with him and we would go
over the material and quizzes. Or I would ask for a human reader for that
class for sure. It was the most time consuming and non satisfying one of
all.  I wish someone had told me about legal research class. Legal
writing professors are usually super approachable. They can help you with
formatting and citation guidance too. if you like reserch they are worth it
after the fact. Mainly for summer work and paper courses that you can take
your 2L and 3L.

I am starting my 3rd, and sadly, last year at Notre Dame Law.
If you need anything regarding classes and law school in general feel free
to email.
Good Luck

Teresita Rios.

Hi everyone,

I am not a corporate lawyer but I do have some experience in reviewing financials.

I do often use FineReader to convert PDF files into Word, Excel, or HTML, depending on my mood, when reading financial statements. There are a couple things to be aware of.

Sometimes FineReader breaks up a table as if it was in fact two individual, unrelated tables with one on the left half of a page and one on the right. It's hard to visualize what I mean by this but, to use an easy example, imagine you're recognizing a calendar of a month with the weekdays at the top. If this issue occurs, then you might get a table with columns for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with the remaining days of Thursday, Friday and Saturday in a table of their own below. This is incredibly annoying and cannot be fixed without sighted assistance. A sighted person has to go into the image editor and delete the vertical line separator and then you usually get good results.

The program is powerful enough that, if you have many pages of the same formatting, you can create templates for how it should recognize the layout, but this can create problems of its own (e.g., if the margins of one page are slightly off, then you might get things broken up at the wrong place). I once had my assistant create a completely empty layout template that purposefully doesn't recognize tables. When I'm recognizing tables that just need to be reliable, such as corporate tax returns with a bunch of line numbers and amounts, I sometimes will put the document through this template in addition, but it only reliably generates text, and even in Microsoft Word outputs tabs instead of tables.

My only other rather important tip would be that, if you're only using speech and not braille, you should make sure you are hearing parentheses. In accounting, numbers in parentheses are negative!

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Graham

Agreed.  I've converted inaccessible .PDF files to Excel files with ABBYY.

Hello Rahul and everyone,

Justin may have more specific points to add, but my understanding with ABBYY is that it will let you save a PDF in one of many different formats, including HTML. It has been a while since I used ABBYY, but this would be standard. HTML is capable of producing tables that are easy to navigate and use with JAWS (and presumably other screen readers). I sometimes have to work with Word documents that contain several tables where a number of the table entries have check-boxes. I find that JAWS does not always seem to be responsive with these kinds of documents. Sometimes, I save them as HTML files to retain the tabular format. This is better for situations where I have to review but not edit the document.

Best,

Angie

Justin, one question. How can one convert a file into HTML form using ABB why why? I thought ABBYY was only for converting PDF document into word.

Also, in my experience, HTML documents do not retain rows and columns in tables. They present the information contained in tables in textual form. Am I wrong on that score?

Hello

Since you didn't get any responses from blind accountants, maybe my response might be at least partially useful, though  I'm not an accountant.

I read a lot of securities and exchange filings including statements of income, cash flow and assets/liabilities. I have found that I get decent results when I pass a PDF of one of these documents through. ABBYY, and export as HTML. I find that around 90% of the time it gets the tables correctly tagged, and it even tags headings for key sections which makes it a bit easier to navigate. Many corporate entities will have spreadsheets of their financial statements. You can usually download these if it is a public company in the USA. I have successfully requested XLS versions of financial statements from foreign companies.

Of course this would break down if the financial statements were hand written, or if you were dealing with a tax return from the IRS. It seems to me like if you are working with a high networth individual, they would be able to supply you with proper spreadsheets.

Sorry you didn't get a reply from a Real accountant. Hopefully somebody with the proper credentials will be sufficiently infuriated with my response to enlighten both of us as I personally would like to know as well.

Regards

Great tips about the customization of templates. Would this only be in the pro version?

I have a customized punctuation set with voiceover so that it will read parentheses.

I have the standard version of FineReader 15 for Windows. I'd assume but have no information as to whether the Mac version is comparable. In Windows at least, ABBYY re-branded a more lightweight program that used to be a stand-alone PDF editor as what you get when you open the FineReader entry in the start menu. What I'm referring to is installed alongside the standard version of FineReader and appears in the Start menu as "ABBYY FineReader 15 OCR Editor". Once in that program and once you have imported images, you can access the commands I was referring to under the "Area" menu.

Great tips about the customization of templates. Would this only be in the pro version?

I have a customized punctuation set with voiceover so that it will read parentheses.

It's hard to visualize what I mean by this but, to use an easy example, imagine you're recognizing a calendar of a month with the weekdays at the top. If this issue occurs, then you might get a table with columns for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with the remaining days of Thursday, Friday and Saturday in a table of their own below. This is incredibly annoying and cannot be fixed without sighted assistance. A sighted person has to go into the image editor and delete the vertical line separator and then you usually get good results.

I once had my assistant create a completely empty layout template that purposefully doesn't recognize tables. When I'm recognizing tables that just need to be reliable, such as corporate tax returns with a bunch of line numbers and amounts, I sometimes will put the document through this template in addition, but it only reliably generates text, and even in Microsoft Word outputs tabs instead of tables.

It has been a while since I used ABBYY, but this would be standard. HTML is capable of producing tables that are easy to navigate and use with JAWS (and presumably other screen readers). I sometimes have to work with Word documents that contain several tables where a number of the table entries have check-boxes. I find that JAWS does not always seem to be responsive with these kinds of documents. Sometimes, I save them as HTML files to retain the tabular format. This is better for situations where I have to review but not edit the document.

I have found that I get decent results when I pass a PDF of one of these documents through. ABBYY, and export as HTML. I find that around 90% of the time it gets the tables correctly tagged, and it even tags headings for key sections which makes it a bit easier to navigate. Many corporate entities will have spreadsheets of their financial statements. You can usually download these if it is a public company in the USA.

Hello all,

I know there are a lot of questions on what a blind student who wants to
attend law school should do. I have been forwarded the link to an article
in US News on disabled students attending law school.

 

The article just came out today, published here:

I might be the person to add to your spam list, but I’m putting out the need again for a great Director of Legal Services. Join me. You don’t have to live in Colorado right now to apply. If you’re wonderful, we’ll wait a bit for you. https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fdisabilitylawco.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fuploads%2FDirector%2520of%2520Legal%2520Services%2520Job%2520Announcement%25205.25.22.docx <https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fdisabilitylawco.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fuploads%2FDirector%2520of%2520Legal%2520Services%2520Job%2520Announcement%25205.25.22.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK> &wdOrigin=BROWSELINK

 

This hire is very important to me. Not only will the person help set the vision for the organization, but she/he/they also will be my potential source of commiseration or the need for it from others. Help me choose wisely. I’d like to find someone with impact litigation experience who carries a stick, but likes to feed their colleagues carrots or better snacks.

 

How’s that for a job posting?

Hello fellow legal beagles!

I am doing an online class over the summer and it introduced to me in the current chapter  a concept im not exactly that sure I understand.

“There are 23 occupational groups in the white collar group”

“GS-900, the legal and kindred group, is where paralegals are placed in the white collar occupational group series.”

(Excerpts from textbook)

Then it goes on to list the groups for GS-000 through GS-2100. Is it trying to say that those 21 groups it list all belong to white collar or that white collar is one of them and that within THAT group it is divided into 23 further subgroups?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Not yet. Its an online class and he is awfully busy with his practice sometimes. I figured the best place to get an answer to a law related question would be to try and ask a place with a bunch of people with extensive law-related knowledge. I know Blind law has many students as well but maybe there might be a law professor or lawyer in here that could answer it as well.

Tom:

I appreciate that. Generally, this list is for blindness specific
resources rather than help with readings or coursework. We don't have
access to the full context of the course materials or how they're
being used.

Warmth,
Sanho

Hi, are you talking about the federal government job classifications? If so, I think I can help with that.

Sanho:
So this begs the question;
Are there other lists where this guy can go?
I too, believe that it says "blind law"; hence,
If I am a blind lawyer/student, and I have a law related question, this list would most definitely be appropriate.
Further, are you speaking as a moderator? Or simply as a subscriber who believes that the list is only for "blindness related" matters?
I have wondered this myself?

Please advise as you like.

Hello everyone
I am finishing up my paralegal studies and am starting to shift towards
looking for paralegal   adjacent jobs. What software does everyone use who
works in the law field? I want to start to familiarise myself with
applications I may use in law offices. I have heard about ABBY FineReader
and plan to take a look when I have a little more time. I am familiar with
Microsoft Word and Google docs. Are there any other programs you all think
I may use? I don't necessarily mean law office specific programs, but
programs that I could use anywhere. A Lot of jurisdictions are switching to
e-filing and I am curious if editing
or creating PDFs accessible? Thank you for your help.

There are a whole bunch depending on the task. Here are some examples off the top of my head that you will see in many types of offices and not just law firms. I use most on a fairly regular basis:

Communication: Zoom, Teams, WebEx
OCR: Omnipage
Document Processing (other than OCR): Adobe Pro, Power PDF, Work Share Compare
Email: Outlook or Lotus Notes (if you are still in the 80s)
Data Organization and Analysis: Excel, Access
Presentation: Power Point

Subject: [blindLaw] List Purpose
Message-ID: <CAL6jpexdPnz0Ao5UE0FvBqLAVjaHNp67SfdD9OwXxmo7+aEY_A@mail.gmail.com>

In response to Mike, and for the sake of any relevant discussion:

"The purpose of the Blind Law listserv is to serve as a resource for
blind lawyers, paralegals, and law students, those blind people
interested in a career in the legal profession, and others interested
in techniques used by blind attorneys in practice. Discussions focus
on blindness-related aspects of the practice of law, legal employment,
technical resources for the legal profession, law school admissions,
and law school admissions tests and bar examinations. The Blind Law
listserv is also a means for sharing information about laws and cases
that affect the blind and for disseminating information about programs
and activities of the National Federation of the Blind."

Obviously it shouldn't be abused either way, but I do wonder if
interpreting someone's textbook or helping with their homework should
be added to our purpose statement or if it's already covered by
something there. Hmm.

Hi all,

The point of this list is for blind lawyers or those interested in law to connect with other blind lawyers or those interested in law. 

I don’t think it’s meant to be so limiting that we can’t ask about legal questions (whether they are homework related or practice related). 

To Sanho’s point, it’s hard to answer the question being asked since we don’t have the full context. But I don’t think it’s off topic since it relates to the practice of law. 

Tom, my understanding is that GS-000 - 21000 are not all white collar jobs.  Here’s a listing of jobs and their GS codes. https://federaljobs.net/federal_jobs_opening/#Government_Jobs

Best regards
Derek

Hi, I am one of the moderators of this list. I don’t think the question is off-topic, particularly because it is asking about the paralegal series and a legal classification related to jobs. This is a very interesting discussion.

All,

Duly noted. Thank you. I've apologized to Tom privately.

Warmth,

Message-ID: <8E0AC44F-DE19-41A4-B34D-CE79875AFFE1@gmail.com>

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anybody has taken the LSAT using the online proctored version? If so, how did it go?
Thank you

Hi, are you talking about the federal government job classifications? If so, I think I can help with that.

Hello fellow legal beagles!

As I understand it, with certain police departments they will help pay the way for cadets to go through the local police academy. Do we know if there are any such assistance from law firms, State Justice departments or DOJ? Because I would like to maybe be a lawyer one day but law school is expensive and I do not come from money. I know there are scholarship opportunities out there but don’t want to put all my career eggs in one financial basket if I don’t have to.

Thanks in advance!
Tom

*	5:00 p.m. Ticketed reception

Please note that the above times are in the Central time zone.
Additionally, the plan will be to move to the reception part of the program

Next week, we will post the full agenda to our meeting and activate the
ability for you to register online.  You will also be able to register in

Case and other recent Supreme Court cases and their effect on disability

and why it is largely not making federal government     information
technology accessible to us.  Karla Gilbride will share her experience
arguing before the United States Supreme Court as a blind  lawyer.  We will
undoubtedly share some practice tips for blind lawyers.  Elections for our
Officers and Board Members will be conducted.  Last, and certainly not

Message-ID: <CO1PR06MB7916BA5067954833E6D6DF66ADB79@CO1PR06MB7916.namprd06.prod.outlook.com>

Hello fellow legal beagles!

I just had an interesting thought experiment with myself about video resumes. Apparently they are quite frowned upon by sighted individuals because there’s possible issues with discrimination that might come into question should be rejected (such as “oh you rejected me because I am this or that?”). I was originally just joking around but seriously if we (visually impaired and blind people) are set up as a sort of screening for those? I mean I have never heard of a visually impaired or blind recruiter being sued for discrimination centered around a candidate who used a video resume have you? For matter has there ever been a successful lawsuit against a a blind recruiter on the grounds of possible discrimination?

Thanks for your time!
Tom
