[accessibleimage] Re: The Runaway Jury

Thank you for the advice Jennifer, I did
as you said and here is the answer

"If it is in a state or local court I think that making such
important
visually delivered information available to such court
participants might
well be covered under the effective communications
requirements of the ADA
(subpart e). Also if the court in question receives any
federal funds then I
think that the "auxiliary aids and services provisions" of
Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 would be applicable.

Of course, under both scenarios the blind or VI participant
(juror,
defendant, plaintiff or attorney) would have to make the
request for these
reasonable accommodations."
