[blindlaw] Priority Registration for Law Students with Disabilities

[Susan Kelly]

Check with U of Arizona as well - I do not know for sure, but there were
many in school when I was thee, and since, who had disabilities and
handicaps, sometimes multiple(visual, hearing, and physical).

Disabilities

Hi!

Does anyone know any law schools that give students with disabilities
priority registration? Meaning students with disabilities are allowed
to register for classes before all other students.

My undergrad university did and it was a godsend. I have low vision
and need to space out my schedule and my readings to prevent severe
eye strain. However, my law school does not allow priority
registration. Without priority registration I am unable to enroll in a
course load that allows me to best manage my disability. I am also
often left with very little time to convert course materials and text
books.

Just wondering if other law schools provided priority registration?
I'll be speaking with the Dean of Academic Affairs next week and would
like to point out other law schools that allow priority registration.

Thanks so much for you help!!
- Nora
