[blindlaw] Deaf-Blind Lawyers

[Haben Girma]

Greetings. My name is Haben and I am currently an undergraduate student 
at Lewis & Clark College. I am partially blind and partially deaf, so 
deaf-blind for simplicity. I am strongly considering attending law 
school and practicing law. What challenges should I expect as a 
deaf-blind law student that I wouldn't experience in college? Are there 
deaf-blind people practicing law in this country? Please let me know.

thanks,
Haben
