On 16 October, Heath Boffey asked: >Does anyone know of any good CD ROM based law dictionaries and also law >reports for use by a dyslexic student? We were involved in the assessment/support of a dyslexic law student last year - and therefore have part of the information you're seeking: 'The All England Law Reports 1936-1995' are available on CD ROM for a massive stlg6750, with a single year CD (1996) available for stlg650. However, lawyers and students who subscribe to the publication entitled 'All England Weekly' get a marked reduction on these prices. An annual subscription to this publication costs stlg240. Your university library will be able to give you the publisher's details. I would strongly recommend that any dyslexic student faced with this mountain of text (even on CD) is also supplied with a 'text-to-speech' facility to enable selections to be read back to him/her. Hope this helps! Alison Cox ACCESS Centre Manager Stevenson College, Edinburgh %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
