[blindlaw] LSAT Prep Materials

[Steve P. Deeley]

Since there seem to be so many accessibility issues with the LSAT 
preparation format and the actual exam, why not just request that the law 
school wave the test?

>> Good Morning,

>> Are there any LSAT prep materials in braille that are really recent? The

>> Review. I called them up today asking that they provide me with a
>> braille copy. "Sorry, we don't have a braille copy," the customer
>> service woman replied. There are many books currently unavailable in
>> braille, but in the case of this book I feel unable to acknowledge this
>> reality. Preparing for the LSAT is absolutely important, I want the best
>> prep books in my most comfortable reading media: braille. I left a
>> message with the Editorial staff asking for a braille copy or at least
>> an electronic copy so I can emboss it myself. Shouldn't the Princeton
>> Review be required to provide a braille copy of their book, as a
>> reasonable accommodation under the ADA?
>>
>> Those of you who are currently studying for the LSAT or have recently
>> taken it, what study methods and materials did you use?
>>
>> p.s. I can't use audio material because I'm hard-of-hearing.
