[blindLaw] Accessibility law firm lawsuits resources

[Dennis Clark]

Hello Max,

Are you a lawyer, or a current law student? Once I know this I can 
better provide an answer that may make sense. I'm asking because your 
question as presented is somewhat unusual, and kind of reads like a 
possible law school exam question.

All the best,

Dennis

These individuals are subsequently utilized to initiate lawsuits against businesses or companies that are considered inaccessible. The testers are compensated when the law firm settles the lawsuits. Essentially, this could be perceived as a form of extortion.
