Subject: [blindLaw] Preparing for Law School

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!
