When Ben Chater enrolled in the University of Texas School of Law in the fall of 2007, he was looking for a new challenge. Chater has had cerebral palsy since birth, but he uses his analytical abilities to solve problems and maneuver around obstacles.

“I think I have intense need to feel like I’m running on all cylinders,” says Chater, who graduated from UT law school on May 22 and will take the Texas bar exam in July.
