[blindLaw] NOTE TAKER IN CLASS—law school (sort of important question) i

Thu Nov 13 02:26:48 UTC 2025

Hey all, Blind Gator here,

Not sure if I’m late for the party, but my two cents is that the school did provide a note taker (And they always should, I mean if your a permanently disabled blind individual then, you have Fed law backing up all of your requests).  I usually have my Zoom H6 recording and then I use Google Notebook LM to condense the spoken class into a podcast format.  I also wash any notes I get and the powerpoint slides through that same process.  So every class is turned into a two hour piece of entertainment.  Then I just double down on the cases and roll with it.  My GPA is a 2.96 right now, I had a crash out in Civ Pro getting a D so that dragged it down, but I’m feeling happy about Trusts and Estates!  Does anyone use sgroup. Me at all?  It would be stellar to connect with you all and to connect my other blind law school reminds.

Right now at UF Law we have 3 legally blind students.  I believe this might be the highest concentration in the nation.  How many bind individuals do you think are currently enrolled in law school?

Anywho, I’ve taken the path of the Hurricane and have pretty well crashed my way through accommodations and accessibility stuff here in Gainesville.  If anyone needs advice let me know!  I’ve learned a LOT about higher education and Disability Resource Centers.  I’ve also proudly assisted my fellow blind student cohort in California with Abraham Lincoln University or some such online law school.  Can you believe they buffed at reading the power point slides out loud to him?  Insanity.

Anyway,, I was just sitting down to go over T&E.  Drop me a line sometime if you have any Q’s.

Understood thanks fro your response

I am in a part time even b program some folks are working do I have friends
in the day full-time program but they are taking different teachers and
some different classes

Since the other people are working, it might be hard for me to find a study
group to do outlining sessions and practice test sessions, but I’m gonna
continue to find people out of the 50 people in my class who might be
willing to do that

Best,
Brian

Our student disability center provided stipends for notetakers. Usually I
reached out to classmates I knew and asked if they’d provide notes. They
usually were part of the friend group that made up our study group so we
inevitably built outlines together.

The disability services office got notes from a student in my class and
sent them to me.  They did not, however, have a student send me their
outlines.

Hello, folks for those of you who are in law school or have graduated
,
do
your disability offices provide student note takers.

Did student note takers ever give you their notes to help out and stuff

I could use a student note takers to help with things like outlining
and
review but my school just gives otter AI note taker and they say they
do
not use student note taker? However student notes are helpful for not
only
studying but also preparing outline. Otter AI is helpful too and has
its
owns transfer but and very powerful but there are just things that do
not
replace human notes no matter how advanced otter ai LLM is at spitting
out
answers

If the school does not want to give pen for budgetary reasons,  I can
give
lime x amount of money myself and the school can also give like 50$ to
student to incentive students

I appreciate any answers on this. This will Help a lot in my studies  .
Anyone please provide feedback and commentary

Thank you for your attention time and assistance and feedback
Best,
