[blindlaw] blind attorneys

[Susan Kelly]

I've often wondered about this myself, as I didn't hit the statutorily
blind level until a couple of years ago.  However, there is a prosecutor
in the County Attorney's Office here who has been blind since birth.
Also, one of my classmates was already statutorily blind (RP)by the time
we were in school, and a lady in the class ahead of us was totally blind
due to rheumatoid arthritis.  As far as I know, both of these
individuals are also employed in the legal profession.  Granted, that's
not many, but there is at least a glimmer of hope...

Curious:

1. Are there any blind, statutorily or otherwise, and EMPLOYED at
all????
I'm referring here to those with vision issue prior to employment.  I
would
suggest the numbers of such individuals should lead all those with
vision
issues to forgo law school entirely.  FACT!

Are there any attorneys out there who are:
1  blind or statutorily blind;
2  unemployed or underemployed as defined by substantial gainful
activity;
and
3  receiving disability as a result.

If so, I would appreciate hearing from you.  Thanks.

Dan
