Scope. This report covers the three marketing websites only. It does not cover the Bar Exam Command Center application or the Law School Resource Center, which are separate products with their own evaluation. Build/test artifacts are excluded.
Summary. All three sites are uniformly WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA conformant (zero serious or critical automated violations; manually verified). For Level AAA, design.czerwonkalegal.com implements a set of targeted enhancements; the other two target A/AA. Two AAA criteria are intentionally not met (1.4.6 Enhanced Contrast — the gold brand accent is below 7:1 for small text; 3.1.5 Reading Level — copy is written for a professional audience).
Conformance terms
- Supports — meets the criterion without known defects.
- Partially Supports — some functionality does not meet the criterion.
- Does Not Support — most functionality does not meet the criterion.
- Not Applicable — the criterion is not relevant to the product.

Revised Section 508 (U.S.)
Section 508 incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level A & AA by reference for web content. Because these sites meet WCAG 2.2 A & AA (a superset), the applicable 508 web-content requirements are Supported (see Tables 1 & 2). Functional Performance Criteria are supported for without-vision, low-vision, without-colour-perception, and without-fine-motor-control modes; without-hearing criteria are Not Applicable. Hardware provisions are Not Applicable (web content). This report plus the public accessibility statement serve as the support documentation.
EN 301 549 (EU)
Chapter 9 (Web) maps to WCAG A & AA, which these sites meet; the corresponding clauses are Supported. Closed-functionality, hardware, and real-time-communication clauses are Not Applicable.
Known gaps & recommendations
These are enhancements, not Level A/AA failures: add a <main> landmark to the pages that currently use <section id="main">; add a skip link to the MPRE tool page; optionally extend the design subdomain's AAA enhancements across the ecosystem. Enhanced contrast (1.4.6) and reading level (3.1.5) remain out of scope by decision.
