[blindlaw] Entering solo practice

[Marsha Drenth]

Paul,

I myself am not a lawyer, but I do live in the greater Philadelphia metro
area. There is another lawyer in my NFB chapter that meets in center city
Philly. All of the folks in my chapter are of the working sort, and could
help with your technology issues. If you are interested in meeting other
Philadelphia residents who are blind, please email me off list.

Subject: [blindlaw] Entering solo practice

Greetings,

I am a visually impaired attorney living in the Philadelphia metro area.  I
graduated law school and passed the bar in 2008, but due to the unfortunate
economy, I've been unable to find a job in the legal field.  For the last
few years I've made a living as a working musician, all the while applying
for what few jobs are out there.
Recently, a good friend decided to open his own practice, and he's invited
me to work with him.

While the practice of law is intimidating enough for someone with limited
experience post law school, I'm most concerned about what, if any, visual
limitations I might encounter.

Right now, I use Jaws and can use a CCTV.  However, using a CCTV for a large
quantity of paperwork isn't very feasible for me.

I'm very curious if the attorneys on this list would be willing to share
with me what types of problems they've encountered, especially in small firm
or solo practice, where resources are limited.  What, if any, technology
should I be looking at and considering investing in?
Having worked as a musician for several years, I feel a bit behind the times
in terms of technology.  Any thoughts, especially as they relate to the
practice of law would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Paul Sullivan
