[blindlaw] blind attorneys

[James Weisberg]

I agree one-hundred percent.  I have been successful unless you quantify
success by being able to get off disability.  But I thought that was the
purpose of putting oneself through a long arduous program of education!  Yes
of course the way to go for people like us is government jobs, but other
than that the numbers bare out my pessimism no?

hi,
there are several blind attorneys not only in Chicago but throughout the
united states, who are successfully practicing law either in the private
sector or with various local, state and federal government agencies. These
lawyers went through law school using alternative techniques, such as using
Braille, adaptive equipment and readers. Using these same techniques, these 
lawyers took and passed the bar examination. Using these same techniques,
these lawyers have been successful in their legal career. so don't think for
one minute being blind is any hinderance to becoming a successful practicing
attorney.
