I don't know numbers, but the National Federation of the Blind has an association for blind lawyers, law students, and others in the legal profession:\n\nNational Association of Blind Lawyers\nPresident: Scott LaBarre\n1660 South Albion Street, Suite 918\nDenver, Colorado 80222-4046\nPhone: (303) 504-5979\nFax: (303) 757-3640\nEmail: slabarre@labarrelaw.com\nMembership organization of blind attorneys, law students, judges, and others in the law field. Provides support and information regarding employment, techniques used by the blind, advocacy, laws affecting the blind, current information about the American Bar Association, and other issues for blind lawyers. Interested? Join our mailing list\n\nAs far as being a judge, how to become a judge depends on where you live. In some places, it's done by voting; in others, by appointment. One thing I've heard if you want to be a judge, be nice to everyone -- at some point they'll go to people in your past and ask them how you work with others. (Most people do this already, but it's worth mentioning, just in case.) Find and talk with some local judges; you should find some who are willing to give you information and assistance towards your goal, and perhaps even act as a mentor.

I'm in Middle school and I'm blind in one eye and have limited vision in the other. There are a few hard parts 1 not being able to do somethings your friends and peers can, 2 not having teachers get papers enlarged so you can read them # having people hear "disability" and think you are mentally handicapped. But every day gives you new hardest things and you learn to work around them. My impairment has given me a lot of patients and helps me understand other people with disabilities.

very little.\n\nOver 65% of Americans don't know who their Senators are.\n\n85% of Americans 18-24 can't find Iraq on a map.\n\n13% of Americans 18-24 can't find NEW YORK on a map.\n\nClearly these figures don't give much promise to the average American knowing the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.

Yes, however they must first be able to sit for and pass a US state bar exam before they are allowed to practice in any state.  Most times a foreign lawyer goes to a US law school and gets a LLM degree first.

Here in the U.S we have something called The Americans With Disability Act. Simply put, every public place has to be handicap accessible. That includes hotels A hotel must have rooms that are accessible as well. Not all of the rooms, just a percentage based on the number of total rooms they have. All restaurants must have handicapped accessible bathrooms as well.

There is Braille on drive-through ATMs because the same basic model of ATM is used for both drive-through and walk-up ATMs.\nNo need to worry...no state in the US is issuing driver's licenses to blind people...

People declared legally blind, and individuals over the age of 65 get an additional 1,250 deduction if they are single, 1,000 if they are married.  (This deduction is only useful if they take the standard deduction of 5,000...if they itemize it does not count.)

I am comletely blind in my left eye and my right eye is 20/50. Don't worry you are not alone! I felt the same way until I got in touch with the National Federation of the Blind (even though I am not completely blind). \n\nWhat is your Vis. Iimpairment from?

If you want to craft new legislation, half the people will not read between the lines and miss your legal loop-holes.\n A lawyer is born.

Yes. It's called advocacy and is considered one of the most important skills law students learn in law school and their entire legal professions.\n\nWithout advocacy, there are no lawyers, and there is only judges with law. Where goes our legal system? It is based on the important principal that everyone deserves a fair trial and people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.\n\nA lawyer who does NOT do everything (legally) he can to help him client, regardless of guilt, is considered practicing bad lawyering and can actually be disbarred for it.

The percentage is is rather high. If you would like numbers here you go.  1 out of every 5 children has a reading/wtiting disability.  1 out of every 10 is diagnosed as Dyslexic.\n When you think about it if you were to take all the people that are deaf, blind or mute in the world there are more people that can not read or write for their appropriate age or grade level.\n\nAt my college, there are about 3,000 students pe semester, out of that number we have 200 to 350 student that are refered to disability and suport services. That mean that 6-12 % of the school student population needs some type of help.

Surely you know the answer to this without asking.  Braille is for blind people and it's the law.
