I would like to be a public defender after law school, but I do not know that many blind lawyers that are public defenders. Also, I will not be able to attend the convention in Las Vegas this year because I will be studding for the bar exam. Does anyone know of any blind lawyers that work in a public defender’s office? I would like to call and speak with them if possible? I would like to know what problems they faced in working as a blind lawyer in the public defender’s office. Also, I would like to know how they are currently overcoming their problems.
