[blindlaw] Bar Review Materials

I was wondering, more so, whether listening to the video or the tapes at 
home was preferred over going to the class to watch the same. I will asked 
Barbri whether the tapes they would provide to blind students are the same 
as the videos shown in class. If they are, I will have some hard thinking to 
do as to whether I should have to attend the lectures in class.

Thanks to you all.
