Justice Department Reaches Agreement with Orange County Clerk of Courts in Florida to Ensure Equal Access to Court Records for Blind Individuals

The Justice Department announced today that it has reached a settlement with the Orange County Clerk of Courts in Florida to remedy violations of the ADA.
The settlement resolves allegations that the Clerk of Courts failed to provide a blind attorney with electronic court documents in an accessible format,
despite repeated requests.  Under the settlement agreement, the Orange County Clerk of Courts will provide individuals with disabilities with any document
in the official court record in an accessible format upon request, and ensure that the Clerk of Courts' website is accessible to individuals with disabilities,
including blind individuals, in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA, available at
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/.
