[blindlaw] Question for the Mailing List

[Russell J. Thomas, Jr.]

If you work for a firm or a company, travel expenses such as cab, bus or air
travel expenses are reimbursed in the same manner as a sighted person is
reimbursed for his/her travel expenses. 

If it is a client meeting, suggest that the meeting take place at your
office rather than at the client's office. Alternatively, use skype or a
phone with conference call features if several people need to be involved.

If you are going to a Court alone, you will find that the security personnel
at the court house are usually very helpful in describing how to get to the
courtroom you need to go to. 


Respectfully,

Hi everyone,

I am an attorney licensed in Massachusetts since 2010. In my job
search, I often encounter positions that seem like good fits for me,
only to find out that "reliable transportation" is needed--even for
jobs that are not real estate-related. Since I can't see well enough
to drive, I feel that my job search is confined to the Boston area
where there is public transportation. I have applied to the state's
paratransit service and been turned down because legal blindness alone
does not qualify me for the service. Do any of you have any tips as to
how to overcome the transportation problem? If you have taken a legal
job outside of a major city, how have you coped with the daily commute
and any job-related travel?

Thanks,

Liz Surette
