[blindlaw] LSAT Accommodations

[Scott C. LaBarre]

No actually, not with respect to LSAC.  Our suit against LSAC dealt with
lack of access to their website and the law school application process.  Our
law suits against the National Conference of Bar Examiners dealt with use of
assistive technology on the bar exam.

Best,
Scott

Hey!
Thank you so much!  How did all of you receive access to a computer?  I did
not notice it on the list of accommodations in the application.

Also, computer use was the subject of NFB's law suit, correct?

Thanks,
Jordan
