[blindlaw] Hello everyone

[Blaine Deutscher]

these are all very good questions.  I will pass on some information that my 
unckle, a crown prosicuter said to me "if you're looking at Law for the 
money then don't bother."  I'm not sure about other law schools, I gather it 
depends on the school just like it does for an undergraduate degree.  The 
chairmen of the University of Saskatchewan's college of Law came and spoke 
with us and mentioned that school fees and textbooks you're looking at 
$10000.  I'm not sure if that is per year or per semester as he said that 
textbooks are about $2000.  I asked today what students take as I was 
interested if students with a disability have to take the same amount of 
courses as they do with sighted students.  Up in Canada a full time load is 
3 to 5 courses, for an undergrad degree.  In law school first year students 
take 5 classes.  I sure learnt a lot today about taking the LSats, 
qualifications required to getting in, ETC.  As for defending someone it all 
depends on the case but from what I've observed being able to approach and 
ask the five w's and dig to get the person off with the least offence you 
need to put in a few hours.  Correct me if I'm wrong lawyers that are on 
this list but a law degree isn't the type of job if you're looking to get 
out of the office monday to friday 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.  Talk to you later 
and welcoem to the list.

Blaine

My name is Nicholas Bennett. I was just writing to ask how hard is it to go 
threw the law school? Do you need a masters degree in this practice. How 
many years is this? And what is your roles in defending a person? See I've 
wanted to be a lawyer and I was just wondering how much it pays per year. 
Please write back soon.

Thanks



Nicholas Bennett

Ps, happy holidays
