Subject: [blindlaw] Seeking guidance

Hello blind law participants,
	I am writing with more than a little hesitation and an equal amount of interest.  If what follows would be better directed else where please point the way.

	I am a blind graduate student in Buffalo NY.  Under the influence of a few converging forces, a slight interest in law school as a next step has grown to a nagging and exciting unshakable desire.  More than a few people who have offered consultation as I explore this option have pointed me to the collective knowledge of this email list.

	My questions range from broad ideas such as, How could I possibly make my way through law school blind and a mother of three?  To, what kinds of supports will I need?  Most immediate is the question of which entrance test should I take?  I recently learned that The University at Buffalo law school started accepting the GRE in addition to the LSAT.  I did not have to take the GRE for the MPA program in which I am currently studying.  So, I am not sure which test is more friendly to the blind.

	I could go on and on.I will end soon. One additional question is, are there any recent UB law graduates in this list?  hearing from someone who has spent time in that program may be a very helpful start.

	Thanks to anyone who took the time to read.  I have so many more questions but I do not want to clog anyones inbox Too much.  Again, if this line of inquiry would be best plumbed somewhere else don't hesitate to redirect.

Sincerely,

Maura Kutnyak-Smalley
