[blindlaw] New to the List

[Dan Frye]

Shaun:

I attended the University of Washington, School of law, in 
Seattle, Washington, from 1990 to 1993, and I had an excellent 
experience there.  Though my experience with law school is now 
some dated, I would be happy to share with you any perspective 
that I gathered during this time.  Please feel free to call or 
write at the contact details listed below in my signature block.

With Kind Regards,

Daniel B.  Frye

>Shaun,
>You are so wise doing this.  I lost my sight in my last year of 
law school,
>so missed some advanced preparation that might have softened that 
blow.  My

was not a
>pleasant experience- putting it mildly.  State schools are not 
perfect, but

that

of the

listen.  Call

>Hello,

>I'm new to Blind Law, and I'm wondering if some of you might take 
a
>few moments to answer a handful of questions.

>First of all, I am interested in joining the National Association 
of
>Blind Lawyers, but when I do a Google search, I am directed to 
this
>list.  Does joining this list constitute membership? Is there an
>official enrollment apart from this list? Events? Newsletters?

>Second, I am in the process of applying to law schools.  I live 
in
>Utah, and I'm applying at the UofU.  I'll also be applying at the
>University of Washington, University of Minnesota, and Gonzaga
>University.  I have RP, and have been legally blind for some time 
now.
>Can anyone share what their law school experience was like as a
>visually-impaired student? How about your experiences searching 
for
>work after school? Are there areas of the law that are "easier" 
to
>find employment in as a vision impaired attorney? If so, what are
>they?

>I am just starting down this road, and I would love to hear 
stories
>from fellow blind people about all aspects of the field of law.

>Thanks!
>Shaun Reimers
