I heard of two dyslexic law students who sued the Bar (sp?) in the attempt to
get extra time for the Bar exam. They could not pass in the time
allotted..... Now, if they can't read this exam quickly enough to pass, how
are they going to be able to read a legal brief in the short time that a judge
will provide? And what about the poor client who is paying by the hour for a
slow reading lawyer? My opinion? Time to find another profession. We all
need to know our limitations!
