[blindlaw] Document Review

[Loren Wakefield]

Sorry if this goes to the entire list.  

I take it you are a paralegal.  I am seriously considering matriculating
back in to school to get the training necessary to perform this type of
work.  I'm curious as to what obstacles you have encountered and how you
have worked around them.  I know that is a pretty broad statement of
curiosity.  So any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks.

As a paralegal that is generally delegated to take on many of these
management tasks I find that this is a very valid issue. This becomes even
more valid with law firm staff being cross-trained and expected to assume
many duties that might be in an initial job description.

While I haven't done doc review, I imagine that what you say is correct, and
the platforms are very likely inaccessible. This is part of the larger issue
that also includes accessible firm management software. I'm not sure what
the solution is, however, other than blind lawyers starting a coordinated
campaign to contact the various firm management companies.

My issue with firm management software is that it is essentially a file
management system with a calendar and billing mechanism built in.
There is no reason why these products cannot be designed accessibly.
If anyone is interested in arranging some sort of campaign to raise
awareness, please let me know.


Best,
Chris
