Congrats!  I am a 2005 DU College of Law grad.  I had a terrible time
getting materials in accessible format.  Hopefully they are better now.  By
the end, after a lawsuit and a TRO, they were finally sending texts out to
scanned, and the error rate was an acceptable rate.  Feel free to contact me
off list if you want more information.

Hi Everyone:



I am a new member of the BlindLaw list.  I am, as I write this, awaiting
admissions to the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver.  If
plans DO NOT GO AWRY, I expect to be a member of the 2007 student body
starting in September.



As I prepare for the challenges of being in law school, I am looking for
materials I can read to help me get organised as best as is possible.



For those of you who are practicing attorneys already, what pieces of 
software do you use in your practice and how accessible are they? 
Window-Eyes is MY PREFERRED SCREEN READER, but I have a GOOD WORKING 
KNOWLEDGE of Jaws as well having used it once in a Windows NT environment 
when I worked as a PBX Operator for a hotel chain.  I know and use the 
Internet everyday in my business.



I'd appreciate any other advice-particularly with respect to obtaining 
reading texts electronically-you might be willing to share with me.  Braille

is my PREFERRED READING mode; I can use speech, but I find it too elusive 
for my liking!!  Thanks all.



Sincerely,

Olusegun
