[NFBMI-Talk] Accommodations for Jury Duty

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi,  That Fred was not me.  I feel we ought to work on making the system
accessible rather than letting the court off the hook by accepting their
inaccessible forms and systems.  If we do not push back, nothing will ever
change.  So as the '60s song says, "Keep on pushin'."

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Subject: [NFBMI-Talk] Accommodations for Jury Duty

Hello All,

I received a notification for jury duty in the mail last week. It appears as
though there is a print form that I need to complete for this jury duty.
Does anyone know if this form is available for me to fill out online?

I have read all the information provided online through my county website
regarding jury duty. I have also contacted the clerk to let her know that I
was blind and currently do not have a way to fill out the print form.
However, there was nothing about accessibility listed online. And the clerk
did not mention any accommodations for filling out the print form in here
her response to me.

I have tried scanning the form with the apps I have on my IPhone. However,
the form does not seem to scan very well. Since the courts are currently
closed under the stay home stay safe order, and this is not an essencial
business related to obtaining food or medicine,I do not believe I should
have to be in contact with someone else simply to fill out this form that is
not accessible.

So I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or experiences regarding this
issue.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
