My name is Michelle Tarley. I graduated from the University of Georgia
School of Law in May and just sat for the Georgia Bar in July. I am
interested in practicing in the fields of disability law, special
education and civil rights. I have come up against some obstacles
during my interviews, being told such things as "your disability is
not conducive to the practice of law." I know some of you have
experienced the same difficulty, people just cannot seem to see past
your disability. It just does not seem to make any difference in
people's opinion, no matter how hard I try to get people to see that I
am just differently abled, not disabled. If any body knows of a job
opportunity out there in the state of Georgia or perhaps some one that
I could talk to that might be able to put me onto the path of a job,
please let me know. I would be eternally grateful. Good luck to all of
you that are faced with the same obstacles. I know we will get through
it. You are all in my prayers.

Thanks,
Michelle
