[blindLaw] Law School and Disability

[Syed Rizvi]

Let's be a little cautious of categorizing something as a fake disability, if for no reason other than this is a public forum and others can view the discussions that take place here. Also, it would be good to formalize your emails a bit. A lot of the folks on this mailing list could be your future employers or colleagues. The legal world is incredibly small and interconnected. You wouldn't want to burn bridges too early on. Just my two cents of advice. 

Best,
