Hi Ben, and welcome to the list!
I took the bar exam in California so many years ago that I cannot help
on questions of taking it with modern technology. However, a number of
folks on this list do have background on the matter, and will no doubt
be glad to provide you with input.

Subject: [blindlaw] taking the bar exam with jaws
Hello all, my name is Benjamin Karpilow. I'm new to this list. I am a
4th year law student at Empire College School of Law in Santa Rosa,
California, and will be graduated this June. I have signed up to take
the July California Bar Examination. I became visually impaired in 2003
and am not a proficient enough braille user to take the barr exam in
this manner. Instead, I'd like to take it using Jaws. Does anyone have
any experience taking the bar using Jaws. Also do the bar examiners
allow test takers to use Jaws for one section, but not another, i.e., OK
for essay questions but not the performance exam. Responses from those
who have taken the california bar would be most helpful, but I welcome
feedback from past bar takers from all jurisdictions. Regards,
Ben
