[blindlaw] Notes for court room speeches:

[Greg Vendeland]

Brian,

I'm in my final 3 weeks of law school.  I am curious why you felt the need 
to be inconspicuous about reading your braille cards??

I do presentations all the time as a consultant, I've given presentations in 
front of a court, and the usual things law students do too.

I'm always upfront about my blindness and proceed with cards, my computer, 
BrailleNote or other methods of haivng information ready to use.

Were you told not to use the cards in public?
