[Athen] Incoming Law student who uses Jaws and Braille

[David Andrews]

One of the many lists I run is for blind lawyers, 
and a similar question was asked.  Here is the relevant part of the response:

My personal experience has been that WestLaw is 
slightly better than Lexis if you're using JAWS. 
For a long time, it was head and shoulders above, 
but Lexis has been catching up. Neither of them 
are fully accessible - i.e. searching within the 
citing references in WestLaw is cumbersome and 
copying with citation on both platforms is not available.
