Good day all,

I graduated law school (Thank God) and possibly have braille bar
flashcards to offer For braille law school readers/bar studiers.
Note that this is an offer and subject to my ability of fulfilling it.
I offer tentatively in the hopes that some might find it useful, if it
works on my end too.

these are from Critical Pass (now the older 2019 edition). Generally,
they are updated each year, but the material really does not change
much. CP prices them around $250.
There are other, perhaps better, resources to help study for the bar,
but these are already brailed for those who find it beneficial.

Dear friends graciously formatted and then brailed the flashcards for me;
because it is not an institutional product, I offer the braille as is,
on large braille paper,
not double-sided (sometimes a second page only has a couple lines of text),
in UEB,
and contained in 7 or so large binders.

I could try to ship these to you, conditioned on if I can work with
the post office to do so.

As samples, attached are:
(1) a jpg of one of the flashcards (chosen for formatting, other cards
have more difficult content);
(2) a txt conversion of that; and
(3) docx and pdf copies of how that card was written and formatted to
make it more braille-friendly.

Information about Critical Pass is below.
Please feel free to contact me, probably off-list, at seifs at umich.edu
or 248-325-7091, if these are beneficial to you.
