[blindLaw] Historic Blind Moment!

[Nightingale, Noel]

Check that.

There were 4 blind law students at the University of Washington School of Law in 1994, including me and Dan Frye.  Those 4 were the ones who identified themselves.  There may have been more.

Subject: [blindLaw] Historic Blind Moment!

Hey all,

        Longtime listener, first time writer.  I am a law student at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, going into my last year next year.  We currently have 3 legally blind law students.  One with Rod-Cone Dystrophy, one with Retinitis Pigments, and one with a rare ocular nerve condition.  I believe this might be the highest concentration of law students who are legally blind in the U.S. currently.  But I also believe it might be the highest concentration of all time!  It might just be a historically significant moment for blind lawyers.  I just need some help, because I am not sure how to verify this and what to do once it is verified.  I think the honorific is up for grabs, since you’d have to have three blind law students break their HIPA rights to acknowledge it, and we are all willing to do that.

If anyone has advice on this let me know!

Thank you all,

- Richard G. A. Daugherty
