[blindlaw] Law Student

[Shaun Reimers]

I just finished my first year of law school and could share some insight into the LSAT for you, although I had enough sight to take the test via large-print, and may have the info you're looking for.

Whether you have some sight or no sight, I can tell you the logic puzzles were the most challenging aspect of the test for me. There was really no way for me to make diagrams like my sighted counterparts, so the test was arguably not accessible in that way. 

The other three parts of the test, however, were story problems that required simple logical reasoning and no diagramming, so I felt they were fair. 

The NFB has made some legal headway with LSAC, so I expect things will change by the time you take the test.

Is there anyone on this list who may be able to answer questions for me regarding law school admission as it pertains to blind people?  I am particularly concerned about the LSAT.  Also, my state services are willing to pay for me to go to law school if I can furnish to them some informational interviews.  So, it would be helpful if I could speak to a couple practicing lawyers in order to gain some insight on the profession.
