[blindlaw] Blind High School student interested in Law

[Russell J. Thomas]

Two quick points:

How are your Braille skills? While it is not impossible to practice as an
attorney without Braille skills, it is far easier to do the work of our
profession with good Braille skills.

Many people are attracted to law because of criminal law.  That initial
fascination usually disappears once you understand the realities of criminal
law and also realize that there are many other areas of law which are far
more interesting and challenging. 

I would suggest that you ask your career office at your school to see if
they can arrange for you to meet and talk to attorneys who are currently
practicing law.  I would also suggest that, if possible, during a vacation,
you visit your local court house and sit in on a court proceeding or trial
to get a feel for what happens in the courtroom, and imagine how you would
handle courtroom matters.

want to envestagate crimes, so don't know what exactly there is.
