[blindlaw] Re Introduction from Sacramento

[Elizabeth Rene]

Hi Tim,

I'm interested in your response to Patrick, because I've been considering taking the California bar exam now that I've passed the UBE.

What holds me back is a reservation about starting from scratch in a totally new professional community.

Do most of the blind lawyers and professionals you speak of live and work in the Bay Area?

I lived in Berkeley for 2 1/2 years in the '90's, and near Loma Linda for another year after that.  I'm thinking about San Diego now, but would be open, depending on the cost of living, availability of public transportation, and the possible fellowship of other blind professionals.

What could you tell me?

I suppose that my ultimate goal might be to be licensed in Washington, Oregon, and California so I could practice anywhere on this coast.

Thanks.

Elizabeth Rene
