Accessibility

We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA. No outside audit has confirmed that yet, so this page says what we do and what we have checked.

Last reviewed 2026-10-06.

What is in place

  • A skip link to the main content, and a visible focus outline on every link, button and field.
  • Pages work by keyboard alone. Search, filters, pagination and the correction form need no mouse.
  • One main heading per page, headings in order, and tables with labelled header cells.
  • Text is real text, set in relative units, so it scales with your browser settings. Layouts reflow down to phone width without sideways scrolling.
  • The site follows your light or dark setting and your reduced-motion setting.
  • The filing-year chart has a text description of every bar.

What we checked

On 2026-10-06 we ran the axe-core automated checker on the home page, judge directory, search results, a judge profile, a court page, plans, data sources, privacy and support, in light and dark, at phone, tablet and desktop widths. It reported no violations.

Automated tools find only part of the problems that people meet. We have not had a screen-reader user, a third-party auditor or a formal conformance review test the site.

Known gaps

  • Some older pages, such as state and jurisdiction pages, use the previous layout and have not had the same checks.
  • The attorney directory and contact form have been checked by tool only, not by hand with assistive technology.
