Generally speaking, you need to be a member to be eligible for appointment, and ABA membership is very affordable if you are a solo, young lawyer, government lawyer, or work for a public interest group. If you are interested in one of the appointments and apply, please let me know and perhaps we can put in a good word for you. It would be great to have more blind lawyers in these positions.

President-Elect Reggie Turner will be making approximately 600 appointments to ABA Standing Committees, Special Committees, Commissions, and other Association entities and initiatives. The deadline for nominations is February 19, 2021. Click on the following link to learn more or submit a nomination: 2021-22 ABA Presidential Appointments . In addition, after submitting their nominations-please encourage nominees from your bar associations to voluntarily complete the following Goal III Presidential Appointments Form . The form is used by the Diversity and Inclusion Center to collect their names, demographic and other relevant information to be included on a confidential nominee list that we support and send directly to the Appointments Committee. Each year the Appointments Committee asks us for this list, which helps to strengthen the nomination of those listed. On a related note, our colleagues in the ABA Standing Committee on Gun Violence are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and asked that I share with you that they have four vacancies on their committee and would appreciate your help in encouraging interested ABA members to submit a nomination. The Committee is active in policy, programming, advocacy, and public education, often with partners in other disciplines. While their work has always been broadly inclusive, the Committee has dedicated itself to addressing issues of race more explicitly and urgently in the aftermath of our national reckoning on racial justice. As it relates to this specific committee, please feel free to direct any questions to the Committee's chair, Joshu Harris, at joshuharris at gmail.com .

In a desperate attempt to prevent this nightmare to come into fruition, I am looking for a good tutor that can declutter the complexities of the first year of law school. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I'm also a 1L, and let me tell you, I am constantly swamped and either one step behind or getting close to one step behind. Zoom school doesn't help matters. Feel free to send me a message off list. Not sure which classes you're taking, but I'd be happy to chat about material as well. I just can't promise I'll know all the right answers as I am still learning myself. We have dean's fellows, like TAs, for some of our classes, and they have office hours. Definitely recommend going to them if that is an option for you. They can explain the material and sympathize with your struggles. Also, if you are connected with your classmates, you can always reach out and start a study group. I have a close friend I study with, and it's been great. Sometimes it helps just to talk through the cases before you have to write about them on exams. Hang in there. This year can't last forever, I don't think?
