I would just give up, if I were you. Come on! Do you really have to ask a bunch of people like me, with nothing better to do than answer questions on a computer? If you don't know the answer, then just give up, already. However, if you were an even half way decent student of law, then you have the answer already. You keep going! You practice law! You teach law! You do what you would do ordinarily, but without seeing. If you have software to help you play on-line, then you should also have it to help you continue your studies for the Bar.
Stop fooling around on yahoo. Do something for your future today.

Follow your dreams. Don't let that keep you from doing what you have always wanted to do. Your dreams are more important than the fact that you lost your sight. You have so much to offer now that you have completed your degree. Just go girl. Get what you have been working for. Don't stop now because of something like that. You can still hear and sight may be important but when you lose one sense you get stronger in all the others. Go after it!

you have answered your own question. A law degree allows you to practice law and run a law office. Hire a paralegal to act as your eyes. Software for your ears. You have your mind to think. Most lawyers listen, think and talk. I have done most of my legal business over the phone. Don't you be put off because you can't see.

is your software "jaws".... i have a friend that uses it and loves it....i think you can still practice law, you might have to take a year off from your career and check on information on attending a blind school in your area,,,they will teach your living skills and braille, how to move around, etc........i believe this takes a year to a year and half commitment, you live there on their campus and have many courses to help you....then you can return to your law practice with a guide dog, and of course you will need staffing that can assist you in so many ways....
[as i said before, i have a friend that is in the same boat as you are, and it is hard work, trying and at times you will feel emotional, and angry and overwhelmed...this will pass by working and committing your time and angry to still remain active and usefull.... you are smart and went though all the years of studying to become a lawyer, please do not throw it away, this is another challenge that you must walk though, i believe you can do it...and i am available if you ever want to chat, i listen good and though not educated like yourself, i am a person of common sense...and i am known to come up with some good ideas...so keep me in mind, [i am retired school teacher] so i am safe....my name is sandy and you can email me at churchonthewayseniors@yahoo.com
feel free to email me anytime...God bless and hang in there........

I'm so sorry to hear that. Traditional legal firms would not suit you. I suggest you contacting various organizations that work with people who have problems with sight. I'm sure they could use your legal skills and they probably are equipped with machines to accommodate visually impaired. You may have to volunteer in the beginning, but, I'm sure something will come up sooner or later that you will get paid while contributing your skills to the society.

I'd say discrimination rights law would be interesting or working for State or Federal Government with such divisions.

Take the bar exam and become a lawyer.
Blindness and the practice of law are in no way exclusive.

I will never be able to truly understand the difficulties that you have to face. What I do know is that many people continue with extremely successfull careers even though they have lost their sight.
Follow the dreams that you have always had!

Sam Bernstein, the liability lawyer that advertises all over the tv, has 3 children, all lawyers and one of his kids is blind.
If he can do it, so can you.
Call 1-800-CALL-SAM and see if you can talk to him to find out what he has done.

practise law. You have an amazing insight into the lives of people with disabilities, you could fight for them and their rights.
