It depends on what you need access to. Sometimes the textbooks will be available on Bookshare, but you'll need to make sure you get the right edition. Most of the time your disability service office can get electronic copies from the publisher if you provide proof of purchase of a print copy. With respect to actual legal material, your school should provide you with access to Westlaw, Lexis, or both, through which you will be able to access the cases, statutes, journal articles, and other things you'll need.
