Accessibility

JurisWorks aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, for its public sites, its research portal, sign-in, and the tools organizations use to run their sites.

What the platform does

• Pages that organizations write can't be published with missing image descriptions, links without text, headings that skip levels, or data tables without header cells.
• Site colors can't be published with text below a 4.5:1 contrast ratio.
• Every page has a skip link, a title, labelled form fields, and works without JavaScript.

What it can't promise

Documents that authors and organizations deposit, especially older scanned PDFs, may not be accessible. Where a work's text has been extracted, it can be searched and read by assistive technology through the platform's search.

Tell us about a problem

If something on a site is hard to use, use the Contact link on that site to tell the organization that runs it, or write to [email protected]. Please say which page, and what you were trying to do.

An organization may publish its own accessibility statement, which then replaces this page on its site.
