Re: could lawyers be suffering memory problems from moldy courtrooms?

Another reason why mold illness disproportionately effects poor and

working people.

If you have an advanced degree, you will always have your degree. Even

if you become ill from mold, if you can recover

even somewhat, you may be able to find work solely because of that

piece of paper.

Lawyers and doctors, once they pass the entry exams (which are very

hard) and they receive their licenses to practice law or medicine, may

get ill, but only gross misconduct (if that) will get them disbarred

or barred from practice. In general these professions are like chummy

clubs, they almost never discipline their own. For lawyers, Is

continuing education mandatory and do they get re-tested? I don't

know.

But it seems as if once they get their law degree, and pass the bar, I

think that they will always have that. Even if they get so sick they

cant function, they can still hang out a shingle and get work.

The point I am trying to make is that getting sick because of mold in

a workplace or home is going to destroy the lives of poor or working

people much faster than it would others. And the hit is much more

likely to end up having a permanent and strongly negative effect on

their life and that of their families.
