Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I have a question slash comment that in a way  pertains to attorneys. Over the past few years and months, many changes have taken place that forced society to  re-examine its beliefs and actions regarding diversity and inclusion.  I believe the blind must also be equally included. While not all blind attorneys choose to take this path, some may wish, like there sighted colleagues, to join the jag core.  or in other words, become an army lawyer. While I'm not trying to glamorize this position, it may carry with it a range of benefits. The vast majority of what army lawyers do is lawyering like any other attorney. Since a lot of positions in the military are non combat positions, and the vast majority of army lawyers complete there 20 years of duty without major incidents, in this modern age of the year 2020, it shouldn't be unreasonable what with both accommodations and inclusion to expect and accept that many blind lawyers are just as capable of being army lawyers rather then civilian if they choose to. I  I commented on this in this list because this concerns  attorneys which is the topic of this list. All legal careers should be open to those who are blind or visually impaired. I have read that there is at least 1 in Israel. Finally, there is a wealth of attorneys who's knowledge and skill is being unused and who if they even wish to become this kind of attorney are being kept out. ∫ are simply my thoughts. The views are my own and do not reflect those of others.
