[blindlaw] Introduction

[E.J. Zufelt]

Anil,

First, to answer your dictionary question, "Black's Law Dictionary Digital" 
is supposed to be JAWS friendly (I have never tried) and integrates itself 
with MS Word.  You can find it on Amazon.

Second, I am entering the first year of law school in Canada and all of the 
textbooks for my first year courses (except for one) were available as 
digital copies from the publishers.  It is a bit late to be requesting books 
and expect to receive them on time, but the sooner you make a request, the 
better.  Note, that most publishers require the request be made by the 
disability services department of the institution you are attending.

Everett
