Friends,

A friend of the Federation who is involved in our Disability TenBroek Law
Symposium has asked we share the below opportunity.  I have no other
information about this request.

 

For a @nytimes story, I'm looking to speak with disabled workers about their
experiences requesting accommodations. What are the workplace barriers to
accessibility? What could be better? 

.

Message-ID: <9E8D9FFF-49AF-403F-9A86-B8E5C0D7D551@gmail.com>

Hi everyone. This is Helga and I am a visually impaired student.  Hope you all are doing well. I have a question regarding the LSAT writing.  For  those who took the LSAT exam  and completed your writing sample last year, what was your accommodations for it? Did you use the launch writing link that is in the LSAC website or did you read the Prompt and  write the essay with Microsoft word? I’m just wondering. I already registered for the remotely  LSAT administration that will be this October, and  will also need to complete  a writing sample. It will be my first time completing these tests.  For the writing sample, I will prefer  using Microsoft word since I’m familiar with that app on my Mac-book Pro using VoiceOver. However, what is your experience with the launch writing link? I never use that program before, so I am not so sure if it is accessible or compatible with VoiceOver and Google Chrome on the Mac when it comes to the Prompt? I did write to the LSAC Accommodation Team  two weeks ago regarding using Microsoft word in order to read the LSAT writing Prompt and write the essay, but I still did not receive any respond about that matter. In fact, I do have  a letter of accommodation, but It does not really mention if I can use Microsoft word for the LSAT writing. Do you have any suggestions?  I look forward to hear from you soon. Thanks so much for reading!

Hey there!
I utilized hardcopy braille, a braille note, taker, a scribe, and extended
time.
Happy to answer any questions you may have in addition to this one!
Best of luck,
Elizabeth.

Hello all

I wonder could someone tell me whether there is a keystroke that
enables one to move between track changes in word i.e. to the next
track change? The JAWS track changes feature really is hopeless for
any serious document!

Kind regards

Hello, 

I am looking for Braille prep books and practice tests to prepare for the LSAT. Are there Braille practice books available anywhere? Since I will be requesting to take the LSATs in Braille, I would like to ensure that my study materials are in the same format as the actual exam will be for me on test day. 

Thanks,

If using and wanting braille, contacting LSAC should have them send
you braille practice tests that you then return to them at your
testing location. At least, that was available before it moved to
online and hopefully still is.

I benefited from the powerscore materials, also on bookshare.

If you call LSAC and request that they send you test materials in
Braille, they will send them to your home. I ended up doing the test
on my computer with a Braille display for note taking, but I used the
books they sent.

I also found the Power Score books helpful and would recommend
downloading them if you have a Braille display you like reading on.

Hello colleagues,

 

Does anyone know if Relativity is accessible and do you have experience
using it? My office is using Relativity for document management/review and
I've never used it. If anyone knows some resources for how to get trained on
it with JAWS, that would also be very helpful.

 

Thanks.

Hi, it is mostly accessible.

The only thing we can not do is perform redactions.

Hi All:
I am working with a legally blind student at New York Law School who alleges
she has been denied accommodations of her blindness, resulting in her
academic dismissal, which she is appealing.
If anyone has attended, worked for, or applied for admission to this school,
kindly contact me off list.
Thanks in advance.

 Meeting
Message-ID: <011001d9a5e2$cfaec670$6f0c5350$@gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

I am sending out this note to give folks some information about the 2023
Mock Trial and some preliminary information about the 2023 Annual Meeting of
the National Association of Blind Lawyers.

 

The NABL Mock Trial is back!

Join us in the Lanier Grand Ballroom G & J on July 2, 2023 at 4:15PM or when
the Resolutions Committee adjourns, whichever is later, for our 23rd Mock
Trial.  As this is a fundraiser, admission is $5 per person.  Federation
lawyers oppose each other to enact a case addressing the civil rights of
blind people, and the audience serves as the jury. The subject matter is
serious, but the courtroom portrayers are very entertaining.

 

This year, for the first time ever, we will be making available for purchase
for $20, a curated selection of previous NABL mock trials.  Scott Labarre
chose them himself prior to his passing.  These recordings feature
Federation lawyers, including Scott Labarre, Charlie Brown, and Peggy
Elliott, and many others in a variety of roles.  These recordings will be
available via download, or for those attending the NFB Convention in person
who prefer, via flash drive.  Individuals can purchase the recordings on the
Blind Lawyers website shortly, or they can visit Lisa Bonderson at the NABL
registration table outside of our meeting room, or they can purchase them
from me during General Sessions at the Maryland delegation.  Proceeds will
go to the Scott C. Labarre Leadership and Justice Fund.

 

 

We will be holding our 2023 Annual Meeting for the National Association of
Blind Lawyers on July 3, 2023 from 1PM - 6:30PM, including a networking
reception.  The agenda is forthcoming.  The registration form will be posted
on the Blind Lawyers website shortly.  Registration costs include NABL dues.
Registration for students is $5, for all others is $25, and those wishing to
receive CLE can do so for an additional $20.  We will also be streaming the
meeting, with access information to be shared soon.

 

We look forward to seeing many of you in Houston!

between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;

Dear Esteemed Members,

I trust this email finds you in good health and spirits. I am Mallaz Khalil a  visually impaired  student at the Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia. I am penning this message with profound respect and hope to the community that has surmounted incredible challenges to succeed in the legal field.

Pursuing legal studies at UBC has been both a rewarding and challenging journey. As much as I am grateful for the knowledge and skills I am acquiring, there are instances where I grapple with the competitive nature of our institution. During such times, I can't help but feel overwhelmed and question my path. I am convinced that a guiding hand and a listening ear would help me navigate through these uncertainties, making this journey more manageable.

I am awed by the tenacity and resilience shown by the members of this community. Your triumph over adversity is an inspiration, and I can't help but feel that your experiences could offer valuable lessons to a fledgling law student like me. If anyone would be kind enough to provide some mentorship, or point me towards a suitable mentor, it would mean the world to me.

Additionally, as I am earnestly seeking a summer position for 2024, I would appreciate any leads or suggestions. Rest assured, I am willing to relocate to seize the right opportunity.
I can be reached at 778-960-3538. Alternatively, please feel free to provide me with a way to reach you at your convenience. Every piece of advice, suggestion, or help is cherished and appreciated beyond measure.

Thank you for considering my humble request. I am eagerly waiting to soak in your wisdom and use it to contribute positively to our noble profession. 

In deep gratitude,

mallac

Hi Mallac, 

My name is Teresita Rios and I just graduated from Notre Dame Law School, last May. 
I think that as a new JD, many of my Law school struggles are fresh in my mind and I am more than happy to walk with you through your own journey. In addition, this email list is just that as well. Because any questions regarding issues we are fasing can be directed here at large for practical advice and encouragement. You do not have to reinvent the weal and someone here has already done it. 
 Also, this email list is public. and would advise not to put your personal info here but  after a member has reached out. 
I will send you a direct email --After the Bar Exam —at the end of July.  

All my best, 
Teresita Rios.

Message-ID: <082b01d9a984$a2e5d9d0$e8b18d70$@gmail.com>

Friends,

As you may be aware, the Mock Trial is an event the National Association of
Blind Lawyers holds annually in connection with each NFB convention.  This
was the brainchild of our long-time President, Scott Labarre, who always
served in one of the mock trial roles.  The mock trial takes a blindness
related legal issue and, through improvisation and creativity, blind lawyers
and other Federation actors bring the story to life, often with hilarious
results.

 

In order to honor and remember our long-time friend, president, and brother
in the movement and legal field, for the first time ever, the National
Association of Blind Lawyers will be making available for purchase, a
curated selection of previous NABL mock trials.  Scott Labarre chose them
himself prior to his passing.  These recordings feature Federation lawyers,
including Scott Labarre, Charlie Brown, and other familiar voices in a
variety of roles.  

 

Proceeds will go to the Scott C. Labarre Leadership and Justice Fund. The
recordings cost $20 if paying with cash on-site and $22 per person for all
other methods including online.

 

These recordings will be available via download, or for those attending the
NFB Convention in person who prefer, via flash drive. 

 

Individuals can purchase the recordings in one of three ways:

*	Online by visiting: https://www.blindlawyers.net/home
*	Visiting Lisa Bonderson at the NABL registration table outside of
the NABL Annual Meeting on July 3 from 1 - 4:30PM (Hilton Americas Room 344)
*	Visiting Ronza Othman during General Sessions at the Maryland
delegation flag  

 

Those with questions or who need additional information should contact NABL
President Ronza Othman at Rothmanjd at gmail.com <mailto:Rothmanjd at gmail.com>
or 708-829-0523.

 

Thank you for your support!

Good morning:

  On the topic of file management systems, is anyone using a file management system that works well with JAWS? I googled LegalServer and it appears to be tailored to non-profits and government. Are there any other JAWS-accessible options? Also, my firm uses PracticeMaster -- is anyone able to access it successfully with JAWS? I have been relying on work-arounds for several years. I have seen this question pop up several times in the past but don't recall any hopeful recommendations. Thanks in advance. 

Best regards,

William T. Miller

Greetings:
Does anyone have any experience using LegalServer? I was just looking for some information about how accessible the platform is. I will only be accessing it to retrieve and view case files.

Best,
Nate

Ed Department Expected To Update Disability Regulations Soon
By Michelle Diament |
Disability Scoop
June 29, 2023

After going largely untouched for decades, the U.S. Department of Education is planning to propose new rules this summer for one of the main laws affecting students with disabilities.
The agency said it will issue a proposal in August to amend the regulations implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The law prohibits disability discrimination at schools and in other programs that receive federal funding.
In particular, Section 504 mandates that students with disabilities be provided a free appropriate public education and various types of accommodations.
Many young people qualify for services under both the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504, though more than 1.38 million students were covered by Section 504 alone as of the 2017-2018 school year, federal civil rights data shows.
The Education Department said that its rules related to Section 504 have seen little modification since 1977 and that the forthcoming proposal will reflect the priorities of the Biden-Harris administration.
A notice published in the Education Department's unified agenda indicates that the proposed rule is expected to better align the regulations with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other civil rights laws protecting this population, update outdated language and address "persistent barriers to access for students with disabilities."
The Education Department first signaled its intent to update Section 504 regulations last year when it sought public comment on what types of revisions should be considered and indicated that it would hold listening sessions on the topic. Feedback from those outreach efforts has been incorporated into the upcoming proposal, the agency said in a recent report.
