would anyone be be interested in an ask me anything for a solicitor who was blind from birth and married another blind solicitor and became very successful? (self.Blind)
submitted by Placcy
My wife to be works for an absolutely inspirational blind couple who are solicitors and have their own company.
The man has had no eyes since birth and his wife has 80% non vision?
Only today my wife was in London with two QC's and her blind female boss discussing a case. On the train back she asked about this AMA.
Is anyone interested?

What is your ideal accessible contract/legal document process? The actual workflow and final product? How does this compare to contracts/documents that need to exist in more than one language (as an example that was negotiated by a blind lawyer, the Marrakesh Treaty for braille book publishing)?

Would you guys describe what jobs you guys get? do you get contracts from companies, if yes, what kind of work? Also, how hard was it to become a blind solicitor?
Also, I think this job involves lot of paper work, and, probably some or the other clients do use lot of physical papers rather than the soft copies. Do you guys face those accessibility issues? Do you just make read your assistants read them out to you, or convert them to accessible formats?
I am not in UK or US, but what general degrees and academic path is taken to become a solicitor?
