Dear all, as I made a millionth attempt to write a law exam assignment, I suddenly thought, what is I google dyslexic law student, so I did and came across this site. I am now 50 year old and continue to pursue a law degree. I have been studying law since 1994 - A level law to LLB Law(Hons). I was diagnosed with dyslexia in 2008, and what a relieve to know that there was something wrong with me that was making constantly work and study so hard but yet fail or get low pass grades. My experience through out my studies have been very negative and was told on several occaisions to learn something else. Are there no dyslexic lawyers in the world? Is learning the law beyond us? I will pursue because I am committed but the struggle and negativity is very wiring. Please is anyone knows of any tips or similar circumstances please let me know, for self assurance.
Thanks Sharon
