Lawyers live and die by words, written and spoken, but mostly written. But, of course, not everyone literally reads; perhaps a disability prevents it. 2020 marked the 30th anniversary of President Bush signing the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. In the same way that much of our public physical spaces are shaped by this law (think ramps versus stairs or brick-colored bumps at the edge of a crosswalk), our legal technologies can accommodate disparate needs too. But you have to learn how to make documents accessible. In this seminar, learn the core techniques to produce accessibility-friendly Microsoft Word documents utilizing heading structures, alternative text descriptions, hyperlinks, text colors, and tables.
