[blindLaw] Question for California lawyers

[Jorge Paez]

Hi all.
I’m 29, totally blind and have several other disabilities.
Those other disabilities, chiefly Anxiety, Bipolar and ADHD, have made it impossible for me to sit through college.
However, I still have been able to succeed in technical careers and classes, having earned and practiced with a life insurance license for several years, and having also tried to and thrived at massage therapy school.
I ended up dropping massage therapy when that school went belly up, and also I have eschiolosis so it wasn’t a fit for me since I wouldn’t be able to work as long hours as I would have to work in that field because of the physical tole.
Anyway, one of my passions has always been the law.
Jacobis Tenbrook, Dr. Jurnigan and Scott C. Labar were my heroes growing up.
However like I said I couldn’t complete college so that wrote off the law for most of my life, although I did take LSAT practice tests and did well on those so I knew I had the mind for it if I got around the college issue somehow.
Well as it happens I’m moving to California next week, which has a 4-year apprenticeship program to become an attorney which first came to my attention because of Kim Cardashian publicly announcing that she was going to use that program to become an attorney several years ago.
That really got me interested although since I wasn’t in the state I couldn’t really take advantage of it but now I will be moving there.
So I had 2 questions for the list.
First, has anyone had experience with this program? I believe it is available in California, Virginia, and Washington.
I feel like this would be a perfect program for me because it’s technical, it treats the study of the law directly which, first of all I’m passionate about but second of all my mind is great at focusing on a single subject like that and I would have no problem going through the study required for this.
And my second question is, is there any blind attorney here would be willing to supervise me in California?
I’m moving to the San Francisco area.
I looked at the California info page for the program and they have no info on where to look for supervising attorneys, and although I could just call the bar I turned to this list because my lawyer heroes have always been blind and I’d love to be mentored by a blind lawyer already practicing in the field.
I have no specific law I’m looking to focus in, honestly any kind of law interests me.
Anyway if you can help me with either question please feel free to respond in the group or write to me privately.

Thank you.

Jorge
