[blindLaw] Totally blind prosecutor/public defender?

[Singh, Nandini]

Yes, especially if you serve as an AUSA or in Main Justice. Serving as a state prosecutor is also totally feasible, but I believe it may present some other challenges, depending on the office of course. In contrast, DOJ has some degree of agility and resources, e.g. stockpile of JAWS licenses, in having blind attorneys work there. I also just know my way around the federal bar more, so I naturally gravitate toward it.

Subject: [blindLaw] Totally blind prosecutor/public defender?

Hello all:
So with the recent chat about criminal law I figured I’d jump in and ask my question.
I’m planning to go to law school for criminal law, either was a prosecutor or public defender.
I know there are a few blind prosecutors on here, but since the Federation covers anyone who is legally blind to totally blind I was wondering, could someone who was totally blind, i.e. no sight whatsoever, do it?
I’m totally blind so that’s why I’m asking.

Thanks,

Jorge
