Below you will find the agenda for our 2019 Annual Meeting. The meeting will be a little different this year due to logistical constraints involving the hotel. The business meeting will last a little over three hours with 180 minutes of programming that may be eligible for CLE in your state. We had to run the meeting short so that we would have time to squeeze in our reception. The reception will end by 5:30, and because food is so extremely expensive at this hotel, the offerings will be lighter than usual. You should consider the reception food as a snack as opposed to a full meal opportunity. Because we are ending earlier, you can have a few drinks, a bite to eat, and then make your way to one of the dozens of restaurants in the hotel or the plethora outside. For those coming to the Convention, I wish you safe travels. For those who are not, we will raise a toast in your honor. Cheers!

I gave my exams on the computer for the first time this year in a set of postgraduate exams and was offered 100% extra and took it. I did not have a realistic assessment at the time of how much I would need, not having given exams in this fashion before. I realized later, however, that perhaps 1-third extra would have sufficed, at least for 3 out of 4 exams. In such a situation, do you think one should voluntarily relinquish the unneeded extra time, so as to be assessed on the same terms as your ablebodied counterparts? I tried to put a self-imposed time limit below the 100% extra time but ended up not really being able to adhere to it, as it was not a serious deadline. Further, part of the reason why I took 100% extra was because I was afraid there’d be a tech breakdown - this had happened the year before and also because I was given a keyboard with a layout radically different from my own for the exam. I suppose that concern can be addressed by asking the examiners to make it clear in the adjustment instructions that the clock will be tolled whenever there is a tech problem.

My name is Jorge and I’m in the middle of my undergraduate work but interested in going to law school after graduation and I’ve been researching a lot. Apologies in advance if I ask a lot of questions. OK, so the first thing I’d figure I ask is how do you handle discovery for those of you who are already employed? I understand how e-discovery would be doable as long as the software is accessible, but what about when e-discovery is not available? Thanks, Jorge From paezja at mail.broward.edu Tue Jul 16 08:26:17 2019 From: paezja at mail.broward.edu (Jorge Paez) Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 08:26:17 +0000 Subject: [blindLaw] Big law firm jobs Message-ID: <6FAFBD78-0B49-4BCF-802E-2F8E54F26187@mail.broward.edu> Hello everyone: Just wondering if there are any lawyers here in corporate law, specially at a big law firm? (100+ attorneys.) I’m just curious how you handle the workload in terms of cases etc. I understand a lot of stuff is electronic but I’m also well aware of how many offices are still way behind when it comes to making the workplace digital across the board.

How do you handle physical evidence during discovery? I’m thinking specially of visual things like finger prints, etc, that may be very sensitive and could not be labeled or touched without gloves, etc. basically things that are not papers and the like.

So, I have a subscription to the online Blue Book, which is completely accessible. However before that I had tried the phone version which isn’t, but that version was a bundle that included a subscription to the Federal Rules of Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence. Does anyone know any way of getting those 2 books in an accessible format? (The version that came with the inaccessible bluebook was not fully accessible either.)

For a long time, it was head and shoulders above, but Lexis has been catching up. Neither of them are fully accessible - i.e. searching within the citing references in WestLaw is cumbersome and copying with citation on both platforms is not available.

They rarely involve violence or physical evidence. The most familiar white collar crimes are financial, like embezzlement, money laundering, or various frauds: wire, mail, securities, bank. Sometimes these offenses are particular to an industry, such as criminal misbranding of drugs or medical devices, something unique to pharmaceutical companies. Other times, it is easier to think of the offense as falling within a particular statute, like issues arising from the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or criminal antitrust provisions. -----Original Message----- From: BlindLaw On Behalf Of Jorge Paez via BlindLaw Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2019 3:39 PM To: Blind Law Mailing List Cc: Jorge Paez Subject: [blindLaw] white collar crimes Hello: For criminal attorneys, can you please explain what defines a crime as a white collar crime?

Anyone know any resource where I can prep for the LSAT with an actual test? I’ve found apps that will do specific parts of it in flash card form, or you can take a 30 minute reading/logic etc. sample but I haven’t found a way to do a sim where it’d let you take the whole test. My idea is to take a practice LSAT and see what score I would get right now, to have a baseline to study from. I tried looking into the LSAC itself but they only give you practice materials if you have already scheduled an exam, something I don’t want to do since I’m aiming for a 165 and I hear taking the LSAT more then once is frowned on by law schools.
