[blindlaw] OT JAWS Acting Funky

Tue Apr 17 08:23:21 CDT 2007

This email raises a question with me.  How important and effective are the 
legal attorney client privelaged disclaimers we tack on to the end of 
attorney emails?

Do sighted people have the ability to see the disclaimer before reading the 
message?  When I read them, I read the entirety of the message before ever 
getting to any disclaimer.  Then the damage is done.

It seems like Jedi mind tricks would be just as effective, "You don't 
remember what you just read." (while waving hand hypnotically.
