Built to be read by everyone.
A reference institution that’s hard to use isn’t much of a reference. Accessibility is treated as part of the editorial standard, not a separate pass at the end.
This site is built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That's a target, checked on an ongoing basis, not a certification — if something falls short, the fastest way to find out is to hear it from someone using it.
Library articles carry a plain-language track by default, with a reading-level toggle where a more practitioner-facing version exists — the same citation, written twice for two different readers.
Every interactive element, including the county map on the Courts index, is reachable and operable by keyboard alone, with visible focus states and a screen reader label. Pages use semantic heading order rather than styling text to look like a heading.
Pathway checklists and court-guide checklists are built with a print stylesheet, so the version you carry into a courthouse doesn't depend on your screen.
Dark mode support exists in the underlying design tokens but has no visible toggle yet — if you rely on it, that's a real gap, not a hypothetical one, and it's on the list.
