[blindlaw] favorable ruling in Enyart case

[Scott C. LaBarre]

As you have seen, we have gotten some news coverage of this from several 
California papers and the AP.  Right after the ruling, we spoke to a group 
of reporters right outside the courtroom who had observed the hearing.  I 
suspect that there will be some more coverage once Judge Breyer's written 
decision is issued.  As for the effect of this case nationwide, technically 
this is a case that only applies to Ms. Enyart.  It is not a class action. 
However, NCBE will think long and hard before denying this type of 
accommodation request again.

Friends, I am part of the legal team that secured this victory and was
present yesterday when Judge Breyer announced his decision.  His written
order will come out next week and we will certainly pass it on.  I doubt
very much that the National Conference of Bar Examiners will appeal this but
one never knows.  If they do, we will know immediately because they will
need to request extremely expedited review.  They are  under order to
provide the requested accommodations for the February 2010 bar exam.  This
is a wonderful victory and I cannot tell  you how good it felt to hear Judge
Breyer's decision yesterday morning.  We were prepared to make substantial
arguments in favor of our motion for preliminary injunction but were
delighted to see that Judge Breyer granted our motion immediately from the
bench.  Opposing counsel attempted to talk him out of it or in some way get
him to limit the ruling, but he batted such attempts away.
