[blindlaw] Handling Quoted Materials in Class?

[denise avant]

Rod,
You obviously know braille which is very very important. Do you have a
notetaker such as the braillenote, pacmate or braille cense? If you don't
maybe you want to think about one as you could load the material into it and
use the find command to get what you want. Are your text books in electronic
format?

Subject: [blindlaw] Handling Quoted Materials in Class?

I would appreciate it please if current or former law students can share
their strategy in dealing with the following issue in class.

Currently, I believe that am at a major disadvantage in class, because I
cannot directly read from the book to answer the professor's question, and
professors are sometimes looking for the specific language of the court in a
particular case. Normally, if it is something I intend to argue about a
case, such as a section in the restatement, or a specific ruling of the
court, I would have it brailed-out, but when it is something that comes up
during discussion, it is a problem. 

I now have my briefs and the supplemental materials for class all
brailed-out, but sometimes the professor jumps around a lot in the material,
and I found that I would need to navigate too many Braille pages if I were
to Braille the whole case for class.

? Any suggestions please?

Rod Alcidonis
