Accessibility Statement

CourtNetra is designed to be usable by every member of the Indian legal community, including advocates and staff who rely on assistive technology. We target compliance with:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, as the global accessibility baseline.
• Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW) 3.0, the Indian public-sector accessibility standard, for structural parity.

• Full keyboard navigation for all major flows.
• Focus-visible rings meeting AA contrast on every interactive element.
• Colour contrast targets: 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text.
• Semantic HTML landmarks (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>) on every page.
• ARIA labels on icon-only buttons and status chips.
• Skip-to-content links at the top of every authenticated page.
• Multilingual interface covering English, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Gujarati — with proper Devanagari / Dravidian / Bengali script rendering.
• prefers-reduced-motion respected — animations are scaled back when the OS requests it.

Accessibility is a continuous effort. Current focus areas:

• Screen-reader pass on the Quill-based blog editor.
• Improved Hindi and regional-script font rendering for long-form judgments.
• Keyboard shortcuts cheatsheet (? to open).
• Export-to-PDF tagging for assistive tech.

We acknowledge reports within two working days and aim to fix Level AA issues within two release cycles.
