[blindlaw] Access to courts: Advocacy: Judges

[ger sadlier]

Hi,
  I could do with some advice from those among you who are blind lawyers. In Ireland, where I live the profession's split and I have to make a decision on which branch to choose, soon. Given this imminent decision, any feedback you can give on any/all of the following questions would be really helpful.
  1. what are the main difficulties you've faced in your career?
   
  2. for those of you who have spent most of their time in court, what has the experience been like? please mention any problems etc.
   
  3. what areas of law do you practice in? 
  what areas do you think would pose particular difficulties for a blind person and why?
   
  on an unrelated matter, are their any blind/visually impared judges? if so in what courts do they sit, what jurisdiction do they exercise criminal and/or civil.
   
  Finally, thanks for all your help. i realize this reads like a questionnaire but any answers really would be very useful for me, as i've got to make a big decision really soon and am quite unsure.
