Accomodations for Disabilities- Ever Hear of the ADA?

Let’s say there’s a very bright student who has dyslexia. They have made it through high school, college and law school with extended time on exams. But when it comes to practicing law, don’t they bill their customers by the hour? (Billable hours?) We have a friend who has this backround, and he is practicing in the area of trusts and estates. Is it possible to bill your customers by the job and not the hour? At some point, would a law school counsel a student where the best area within the field would be for their strengths and weaknesses? Or do they usually figure it out themselves?

<p>Lawyers are pretty good at self-selection. We focus on what we are good at. Lots of lawyers basically read for a living while others talk for a living. It is highly doubtful that a lawyer with reading issues would choose to go into an area of law where she had to read long documents every day for hours on end.</p>
