Rod,
If I remember correctly lexis does not have a text only site. But there are
times when wading through all of its graphics assuming that they all speak
properly can be a problem. But once you learn to use lexis it might be more
screen readr friendly in that you don't get a stripped down version the way
you would with west's text only site.

What about Lexis. Should I be looking in to it suppose to Westlaw?

Hello Rod,

I did not use Black's on Westlaw, but Denise is right that the text only
database is the way to go. You are going to have a lot of trouble if you are
using the regular database because last year Westlaw started this graphical
search and keycite method on the database and it will certainly make it
worse for screen readers.

Take care and good luck,

John
