[blindLaw] Tip: approach to law school

[omar duncan]

Hello, I wanna drop a quick tip regarding part  time  or Hyrbid law school
program to consider choosing that may be more palatable and easier to
digest. I talk about the reasons to consider these part time programs  at
school that have to do with the challenges we face in school and to
overcome the challenges associated with the deficiencies That characterize
the service of many disability services at Law School, especially those
that have minimal to zero experience with students or visually impaired or
blind. I also contrast the part-time program by talking about the reduced
course load of combination that’s a full-time Day Program programs my offer
and why the part-time program is still better than this alternative within
the context of the full-time day program. I talk about challenges in the
full-time Day Program, and if anyone  wants to discuss this topic further
with me, please feel free to email me back and we can schedule a call, too
if anyone likes.



I put my long email below, which  some of you may not want to read because
it is long, through ChatGPT synthesize everything and shorten it all so it
can be more concise easier to digest and follow. I will email the AI
artificial intelligence, ChatGPT synthesization and concise version of this
message in another subsequent email within the thread right after this
email, so stay posted. That would be a lot easier to read than the email
below.



For those considering law school and are applying g for the next cycle or
the next next cycle after this cycle… consider a part time or hybrid or
part time evening or day program or anything part time (regardless of time
of day)  or hybrid with part online stuff.

The reason for this recommendation is because it is easier to handle the
load. They have you taken less classes compared to the full-time day and it
is more flexible?

Also, whenever you have to take for example, one midterm and one final at
the end of the semester instead of two terms and two finals as in the Day
Program, there’s a lot of busting of your behind you have to do.

Accessibility challenges might arise. When you’re going at war speed in the
full-time, Day Program, it might be hard to juggle overcome these
accessibility challenges, like converting readings and files in alternative
format while also at the same time staying on top of your materials, you
might fall behind in one area It is going to be constant, catch-up and
nonsense and tough to deal with that.  Why don’t you used to be in a
part-time program will have more time to adjust an adapt, tease issues,
challenges, and unforeseen circumstances without falling behind the Day
Program that is full-time is very fast paced and intense and it’s going out
full velocity you don’t want to be behind the train

Most schools offering a reduced courseload accommodation for the  full-time
Day Program.

However, they either let you take out your two-year loan courses or your
semester five unit intensive course.

The bottom line is they let you take out no more than five credits for the
whole year. Depending on what section you’re putting in for the date
program and what day your classes fall on and what class you decide to take
out, as well as other factors based on how your schedule is arranged, you
still might be going to school at least 3 to 4 days per week.

Some hybrid evening programs or part-time programs have you gone to school
lesson, which is a lot easier and you can use the time not commuting to
study more and for those of you who live far to a Law School, if you if
you’re only wearing one or two days per week max you don’t have to live
next to school and pay for housing.

They are more flexible and understand because People who have busier
 schedules

Most people these part-time programs are working and they are more
experience and knowledgeable so they might be smarter than the Day Program
people, however, the Day Program kids are full-time and have more time to
study. So, it is hard harder to deal with the curve of the Day Program and
is more competitive there.

If you put in the part-time program are all working and have less time to
study and it might be easier to beat the curve, despite them being a little
bit smarter than the days students who are  mostly kids.
Some teachers are generally more committed and understand to their students
in the day program and there are less students in A part-time cohort
compared to the full-time Day Program, which she has more connection with
the teacher. There are more accessible during office hours.

These are just a few reasons to consider part time programs.
With that said, most schools Have a reduced  course  load  accommodations
within full-time day programs— You can consider that. However, the
part-time programs acquiring us stays on campus unless classes throughout
this semester requiring less time and less commute may be better for our
needs.

The other benefit to this arrangement with part-time is that when you have
less classes to take more hours free, you can use that time to enhance your
technology skills and areas like JAWS  and all that other stuff OR USE THAT
EXTRA TIME TO GET A HANG OF THE NEW LEARNING STYLES TEXT TO SPEECH OF THE
VARIOUS TOOLS YOU MIGHT BE LEARNING Because some of these tools has a huge
learning curve, especially if you’re new to them, make me before I start
school,  and takes a long time to get used to. When you start off with less
classes, it is easier to get used to it and you don’t have to take a lot of
classes at once like in the full-time, Day Program, where it might be hard
To process all the information in a full time day course load because it is
hard to process all of this vast amounts of information with technology I
might not be efficient at reading and reviewing things. That is another
reason why the part-time programs take less classes and have more time to
go over material might be more efficient. Basically, it might be hard to
learn with text to  speech compared to other methods like eyes What are
some of us might not be as efficient in JAWS other software. Therefore, it
might be hard to learn this vast amounts of information in the full-time
Day Program where you’re taking 16 units or four classes two year long and
two semester long when the software’s might have inherent challenges when
it comes to reading quickly, and some of us might not be as proficient in
them are still are in the process of learning

However, I want to provide a disclaimer :
some of these part-time programs may be 3 1/2 or four years and somebody
may require a couple summers, but that is a small investment to pay in
terms of time in return for the spread out distribution of classes, which
makes things easier in your first year. Your first year is vital to Law
School success and being inundated in law school your first year might
result in strained performance and constant stress. increase the chances of
success.

Another added bonus. Some of these part-time programs are less competitive
than the day programs. It might be easier to get into with  LSAT scores
that are lower. What are these programs are in the evening and might not be
attracted to a lot of people because they’re four years and since they’re
at night time they have less students than the day program, and the classes
often have more space available so they might be more willing to let people
in because, at the end of the day, they want money and they won’t let an
open seat go to waste that would otherwise stay open

I just wanted to make you all aware of the benefits and advantages of
enrolling in a part-time program at an ABA accredited Law School.
 it is something worth considering, Especially you in our situation that I
outlined above where we have to deal with accessibility challenges and have
a hard time reading and memorizing and processing things because of
technology challenges and also the deficiencies that make processing
information with text  speech harder And some of us not being as efficient
in these programs, and The less classes less hours you have to invest will
allow a buffer to deal with these challenges and will serve as a cushion.
Also, a lot of schools accessibilities offices are bad and don’t really
provide sufficient service and this ads and other layer of unnecessary
stress of fear in the daytime program and could make you crumble in this
extra time from taking less classes and more hours available will allow you
to deal with the will allow you to have more time to deal with the
accessibility and disabled services office without taking time off from
your studies, which would result in a backlog and constant catch-up if
you’re in the full-time Day Program. I want to remind a lot of of you,
especially as a lot of you know, that the accessibility office is at many
schools, except for a few that are well resource and staffed, can have
challenges, accommodating, blind, and visually impaired students. Also,
many schools have not had experience with a blind visually impaired person,
and you might need to teach them some things like how to get books and
alternative format and various accommodations you need. Some of these
schools have not even received the types of accommodations that you guys
might need and might not take some more time up until test time to provide
to work these details out to be able to get granted the accommodation and
when school starts midterms are within a month away and midterms will be
here before you know it when school starts. After midterms, which most
schools have finals will come by right around the corner right after And
when you’re a full-time program, we have so much going on so much to read
in less time to do administrative stuff like handle accommodations, and
with some school access accessibility in disabled services office is being
a pain to deal with, having a part-time course loan we have less to deal
with and more time on your hands might make it easier to overcome these
hurdles

I just wanted to tell you all about the benefits about a part-time Law
School that is suitable for a lot of our situations and for you guys to
consider it. It could be very advantageous for us in our situation. Most
law schools except for the top 20 and top 40 law schools have some form of
a part-time program or hybrid program for adult learners that is
accommodating to our situation too. .


I’m someone who applied for the Day Program and enrolled in the Day
Program. I got into the Day Program . ending orientation week a week before
starting school, at a revelation that doing all of this reading in
full-time Day Program, even reduced coleslaw for which I was approved as an
accommodation, it would be difficult, given my skills with screen readers
and technology. Not with all of that stuff, I just mentioned above, my
reduced crossword would have me going to school five days per week the same
amount of days as I would be going with a full-time Day Program because of
the way that my classes are laid out and how many days they are scheduled
that throughout the week and how long each classes. At  best , a  reduce
courseload, depending What section you are in how many days the classes are
scheduled for they are arranged, will have you going to school no less than
four days maybe no less than three days depending on what school you go to
how they arrange their things but expect anywhere from least three days of
school per week five days per week with a reduced course load I realize
that it will be too much in the nick of time on the Friday before school
started a couple of days before school started,  I enrolled  in the
part-time program

I know what I’m saying is a lot, but please take it into consideration What
I’m saying to not only  maximize the chances that you guys get in It’s also
increase the chances that you do well in Law School.

Feel free to email me or call me to discuss my position further Earth any
of you guys were applying appreciate some more insight On this

Thank you for your attention and time.

I hope this information will be useful and insightful to those of you were
considering Law School, and for those you are Law School like me or who
have already graduated, please feel free to chime in when your thoughts in
your experiences and whether you agree or disagree about hybrid/part-time
programs versus full-time day programs or reduce courseload accommodation
within the full-time Day Program.
