[blindlaw] Federal Employment

[AZNOR99 at aol.com]

Elizabeth,
 
I worked in the Obama Administration for the Department of Homeland  
Security and now work for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under  
HHS.  Feel free to email me off-list to discuss some of the aspects you  
mention.

I want  to return to the practice of Law after a long hiatus, and want to 
pursue  Federal employment under the Obama administration.

Does anyone out  there work for a Federal agency who would like to comment 
about your route  to employment there, your experience of the work 
environment, your ease or  difficulty in getting needed accommodations, 
what 
you like most and least  about Federal employment, or about what you might 
have done differently as  a blind Federal job seeker or new employee, had 
you 
known then what you  know now?

Are there any Federal magistrates, arbitrators, mediators,  administrative 
law judges, or other hearing officers out there who would  be willing to 
share your insights?

Does anyone practice in the  circuit courts or before the courts of appeals?

I practiced for nine  years as an assistant city prosecutor doing daily 
trial 
and appellate  advocacy, for three years as municipal advisory counsel to 
elected and  appointed department heads, working in labor law, city 
governance, public  disclosure litigation, and information systems 
development, for nearly two  years as a professional licensing attorney 
enforcing my state's version of  the Uniform Disciplinary Act, and for two 
more years as a state excise tax  judge.

I went to seminary after that, and worked as a hospital  chaplain, becoming 
fascinated by Medicine, clinical ethics, the support  and discipline of 
troubled healthcare workers, and the rights of patients  to 
self-determination.  I am applying for admission to an LL.M.  program in 
Health Law at my state university.

I'd love to hear from  any of  you.

Thanks,

Elizabeth
