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

Thu Nov 13 17:36:19 UTC 2025

Hi Richard no not late to the party at all

Thank you for your input

Yes I am down to connect on group me.

Ingesting

I have heard of abe Lincoln school.

Thanks for the podcasts idea and reminding me about it. A student in my
class told me about . That reminder will definitely make we want to try it
out.

And did they give you an AI note taker to scan the zoom video or did they
give you a student note taker in tandem with the ai platforms that scan the
lecture.

I can reach out over the phone. And we can talk more

I don’t know how many visually impaired students are in law who knows but
it seems we are in good company

Thank  you for your answer and anyone else feel free to please chime in and
provide feedback’s I appreciate it

Did your school (for those who are in school recently or now in the time of
AI) give you only an ai note taker like otter AI or a human classmate note
taker as well who is a fellow student?

Thanks,
