[blindlaw] paralegal jobs

[Kate Thegreat]

Is it possible to become a paralegal if I am totally blind? I am 28 years old. I have a bachelor's degree in nutrition. A lot of my prior background is in various teaching capacities related to computers and disability habilitation. Currently, I write for the local paper. I also am taking an online course for medical transcription.

 

I am not terribly interested in the medical transcription, but my counselor at the state agency for the blind had suggested I'd be good at it.

 

I looked at some explanations of the type of work that paralegals do and it sounds interesting to me.

 

If this job is possible for a blind person to do, how does one approach a law firm in order to get a shadowing experience?

 

Thanks,

 

Kate
