Law School Site Sued Over Web Access Issues

Filed under:

The US National Federation of the Blind; its California affiliate; and a blind law school applicant, Deepa Goraya, filed a lawsuit on February 1st 2009 against the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC).

The complaint asserts that the LSAC, the body that administers the Law School Admissions Test (which most aspiring law students must take) and provides other services to law schools and law school applicants, violates the California Disabled Persons Act and the Unruh Act because the LSAC web site and LSAT preparation materials are inaccessible to blind law school applicants. The plaintiffs did attempt to meet with the LSAC to resolve the matter, but the LSAC canceled a planned meeting.

WCAG 2.0 Released

Filed under:

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 were finally published yesterday and are officially described as applying to “more advanced technologies“. The new guidelines are also supposed to be easier to use and understand (although I’d advise you keep paracetamol and plenty of coffee to hand) and are designed to be more precisely testable via automated testing and human evaluation.

The good news is that most web sites that already conform to WCAG 1.0 should not require significant changes in order to conform to WCAG 2.0. And some may not need any changes — presumably those sites that significantly exceeded Level AA under WCAG 1.0.
