[blindLaw] Preparing for Law School

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi everyone,

I hope all of you are staying safe and sane in these crazy times.

I am starting my first year of law school in the fall, and I'm
wondering what, if anything, I should do to prepare.  I am already
working with rehab here to get me a note taker, and I will be starting
the paper work for disability services soon.

Are there any tech tips I should know or programs with which I should
familiarize myself at this time?  I am already proficient with Word
and Outlook.

Is there any piece of technology that you couldn't live without in law
school?  I'll have my laptop of course.

My university is inviting us to take a law school prep course.  I have
no clue if it's accessible, but has anyone taken something like this?

Sorry for all the questions.  I have an arts background, and I'm aware
that law school is unlike anything I've ever done academically.
Despite my nerves, I am invested in doing the absolute best I can and
diving into learning all the things.  So, any advice would be welcome.

Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!
