[blindlaw] Number of blind law students

[Angie Matney]

Hi John,

There are six of us on the BlindJD2009 email list. I think there is at least one other blind student starting law school. I 
actually think there are many more blind law students. I actually heard someone refer to law school as a "stereotypical" 
career choice for blind students. <grin> I don't think the numbers are nearly that high, but I found it interesting that this 
person (who worked in a disabilities office at a university) would make this statement.

blind students enter law school each year and of those ten only two actually graduate. I am sure even if this were true 
for the year the author wrote the article, it must vary from year to year, but I just thought I would see if anyone on the list 
had any ideas on the subject.
