[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the answer to this, so it's not meant to be judgmental.  But, would someone who required a different learning style for law school be able to work effectively once they graduated and were looking for a job?  At some point, don't people find a good match for themselves in terms of career where they can succeed without looking for alternative learning styles? I don't know anything about law so and I also don't know what accommodations OP is looking for - OP just got me wondering and maybe attorneys and/or parents of young adults that needed special learning styles for graduate programs can chime in.

I don’t know.  David Bois is dyslexic.  He somehow made it work.  I know several other dyslexic lawyers.  Most tend toward litigation but not all.[/quote]
Lol the dude went to Yale Law.  Be serious.  [/quote]
Are you saying that David Bois couldn't possibly be dyslexic because he went to Yale Law?

I suggest you educate yourself in dyslexia.  Start with anything by Sally Shaywitz (Audrey G. Ratner Professor in Learning Development at Yale University and Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity).  [/quote]

I am a lawyer. I would never encourage a kid of mine who has dyslexia to attend law school. There may be one people who can do it. But being a lawyer isn’t that awesome and there are lots of other professions that are better suited to people with dyslexia. Just because there is one example of someone who has done it does not mean it is a good idea for others. Law school is expensive. And some people get really stressed out about the workload. And in the end, it is a pretty boring job. My best skills are reading very quickly and synthesizing information, so it was a good fit for me. But if your skills are elsewhere, definitely do something else. There are many more interesting (and well paid) jobs out there. [/quote]
