[blindlaw] blind attorneys

[John Ramsey]

I was blind before my first job and before entering law school. In fact, I
went blind the summer before law school and had to learn to live as a blind
man and learn to be a blind law student.
Take care,
John

Interesting John:

I too just last year was practicing in Boca doing immigration work.  Let me
ask you this, were you blind before or after you received you first job?
Are you a solo?  Curious.

Hello Dennis:
I too am puzzled by his statement. I am a blind lawyer and in private
practice here in Florida. If we as blind people follow this kind of logic,
we would all still be living in nursing homes or even worse.
Take care,
John

James,
I am puzzled by your statement.  Are you saying that people who are blind
should not go to law school?  If so, why are you making this statement? 
Please elaborate on  your comment because I am not following your thinking
here.
Thanks,
Dennis
