[blindlaw] Georgia job search

[Carlton Anne Cook Walker]

Michelle,

As a disclaimer, I am the sighted mother of a blind six year old.
Nevertheless, a few ideas . ..

If you want to break into special education, I can assure you that
there is a great need for child and parent advocates EVERYWHERE.  Of
course, this might mean breaking out on your own.  After my service as
a judge's law clerk, I opened my own practice and have been solo ever
since.  I admit -- I did it out of necessity, not choice.  Looking
back, I would have preferred to have some experience as an associate
working in this state (I went to law school in N.C.)  However, I
cannot now fathom going into a firm situation.  Even the idea of
partnership is difficult for me -- I'm too bossy and I like my
freedom.  Thus, I'm saying you may want to consider solo practice --
but a good network with other practicing attorneys will be quite
useful.  Your local and/or state bar could be quite helpful in this
regard.

Also, I believe that the president of NFB-Georgia is Mr. Anil Lewis,
Esquire.  I don't know the extent or nature of his practice, but he
seems like a good man, and I think it's worth a call.

Of course, please feel free to contact me off-list if you choose.


Take care, and good luck,


Carlton
