We are looking for attorneys with disabilities who want to tell their stories about their careers in law. As you know, people with disabilities are underrepresented in the legal profession, and that's especially pronounced in BigLaw. The statistics are simple and stark. But we want to tell the actual stories of attorneys in different parts of the country, and at different stages of their careers. We want to know who you are and why you decided to practice law. We'd like to know about the pressures that seem to keep attorneys with disabilities out of BigLaw, or make careers in the public sector, non-profits, or corporations more attractive. What were your goals when you started? What are your goals now? What do you think is missing from the national conversation? Please feel free to email me or call me at your earliest convenience. We're trying to get these stories together as early as possible so we can make this as impactful as it can be.

During or instead of, depending on the situation. E.g. it can be a thing to give someone so they let go of you and you can walk away while they're distracted. Or it can help shortcut the usual spiel with someone who you want helping you, e.g. sighted guide.

That's pretty much the exact opposite of what I'm intending here. My intent is pretty strictly limited to "what would help me deal with this situation *right now*", where "this situation" is 90% of problematic interactions I encounter day to day, and "deal with" means telling people quickly what to do / not do. That's quite different from the much longer process of getting them to actually understand my perspective. People who would go to a learning session at a library are not the people who randomly grab me when I'm trying to get somewhere. This is not figurative or an exaggeration. I am literally assaulted more or less every single time I go out on my own. I expect most cane or dog using people on the list have had similar experiences. My intent with this not to broadly "raise awareness" or the like. I don't deny that it's worthwhile, long term. But I don't want to do it when I'm just trying to get around, and even if I did, it doesn't address the on-the-spot problems. I'm not interested in having a long discussion with someone who just assaulted me, or whom I'm just asking for quick directions or guidance. I want them to learn what they need to know, within a few seconds, without me having to repeat myself all the time.

My experience is that different areas of law require different levels of sighted and admin assistance, depending on the various docs and tasks involved. I'm curious about your experience with immigration law because I'm contemplating a move. My question is coming from a place of experience with nonprofits that don't have a large budget to afford adequate administrative and reader support. My email is jlynnbarrow at gmail.com .

They can also do some law librarian level legal research. Turnaround time is a usually few hours if M-F before 3pm Eastern. About a day otherwise, 2 days max (not incl. weekend). They're also very responsive to followup emails. There are some limits. The research librarian offering is fairly limited, as they can't do legal advice or research, especially if it's something more obscure. They can do e.g. WestlawNext & LexisAdvance searches if you say what to look for, or basic things like "an article about X". Their subscriptions are not comprehensive. E.g. they don't have access to: * SCOTUS briefs, cert petitions, & motions; appellee/appellant briefs; & other party filings * various guidebooks (e.g. Guidebook to the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts, Federal Information Disclosure, Trial Handbook for District of Columbia Lawyers, etc) - though they do have e.g. Am. Jur. Trials, ALR, etc * really old journal articles (e.g. pre 1900) * non-legal journals (e.g. Am. J. Political Sci.) * some major texts (e.g. Tribe's American Constitutional Law) They won't scan huge amounts from books, but will do ToCs, indices, and a specific chapter / section / page range. They don't OCR or crop their page scans, so you'd have to do that yourself (although they might if you request it). I've only ever used Lexis / Westlaw as a judicial extern, using a court-issued account, which is *nearly* unlimited. Otherwise, I mainly use Google Scholar. So, FWIW, that's my comparison set. Those of you who have more conventional experience / access could perhaps comment on how it compares to what you have. Anyway, it's an amazing service that can give you access to a lot that is not otherwise freely available. Highly recommended; check it out. Please LMK if you know of any similar (free, online) services. This is the only one I know of. Sincerely, Sai President, Fiat Fiendum, Inc.

I am compiling a list of accessible office equipment and accessible office phone systems. What equipment and phone systems have you had good luck with? I am familiar with the Samsung line of printers and copiers, many of which are powered by Android tablets with accessibility features, allowing nonvisual access to the screen. I am also familiar with at least one software package that voices some information from the readouts on some popular phones. If you are aware of accessible solutions, please let me know. This list will be posted to the National Association of Blind Lawyers website very soon. Ms. Tai Tomasi, J.D.
