OH Darlene that is sad news. I used Nexus Lexis many years ago with JAWS and
like it very much because I could type in a whole string search and get the
information quickly. I've had limited use with Westlaw but they certainly
have a reputation for accessibility.

Salutations,
     While conducting research at the Sacramento State Law Livrary I used 
Lexis Nexus and West Law databases.  They had a special computer for Zoon 
Tex, however there was not anything for JAWS.  The librarians said that they

would look into the Jaws software.  I joined a law school and recently asked

if Jaws is compatible with Lexis Nezxus.  The response is negative and 
honest in that Jaws and Lexis Nexus is clunky and many there are problems 
with these two subjects.
Best Wishes,
