I’m Ellen Swain. I’ve made my living off crime for years. Once I stopped dating juvenile delinquents, I started representing them in court. I’ve worked as a lifeguard, a law professor, a playwright, a newspaper reporter and a judicial law clerk. I’m revising my first crime novel and writing a book to help students with learning differences navigate law school. I am equally interested in saints, sages and sociopaths. Beauty and darkness.
The American Bar Association’s Student Lawyer published my article, “Learning Disorders in Law School,” in November 2006. The article discusses the legal and practical issues of accommodations and their basis in civil rights law. http://heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?collection=journals&handle=hein.journals/studlyr35&div=21&id=&page=
