In an increasingly digital society, ensuring equal access to legal information for all citizens is imperative. This presentation investigates the challenges in communicating legal norms to individuals with visual impairments, shedding light on the crises within the Czech Republic's official platforms of legal regulation. Focused on the integration of assistive technologies, our research explores the adaptability of these platforms to cater to the unique needs of visually impaired community. Our case study goes beyond a theoretical examination; we actively identify and evaluate existing platforms, considering their accessibility and the binding nature of the information they provide. Particularly noteworthy is the scrutiny of the newly launched e-sbirka.cz, the sole official online platform of laws in the Czech Republic as of early 2024. We closely examine this platform to identify bugs and flaws, critically assessing its ability to deliver legal information to those with visual impairments. Our findings illuminate the hurdles faced by the visually impaired population when accessing critical legal information, emphasizing the importance of inclusive design in official platforms. The presentation discusses potential solutions and improvements, considering advancements in assistive technologies and international best practices. By addressing the crises of communication faced by this demographic and providing a detailed evaluation of platforms, our research aims to contribute to the development of more accessible and inclusive legal platforms. This will foster a society where every individual, irrespective of visual ability, can actively engage with and understand the norms that govern their lives.
