[blindlaw] Intro and request for assistance

[Patti Gregory-Chang]

I did moot court and trial ad not to mention clinics at Univ of Chicago Law 
School.  Has she talked to the Dean yet?  This is discrimination plain and 
simple.  We have an attorney in Illinois named Denise Avant who will be 
arguing for real before the IL Supreme Court this month.  Lots of us 
litigate in real court rooms all over the country.
