Disability Law in the News: "Best Practices" Concerning the

Law School Admissions Test



An AHEAD "pop-up" webinar



Wednesday March 11, 2015 - 3:00 - 4:30 pm ET



A May 2014 Consent Decree resolved lawsuits filed by California Department of Fair Employment and Housing and the United States of America alleging that the Law School Admissions Council, Inc. discriminated against individuals with disabilities who take, or seek to take, the Law School Admission Test with testing accommodations, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.



The Consent Decree includes provisions that "LSAC shall implement best practices as established by a panel of experts to be agreed upon by the parties." (Consent Decree (ECF203), ¶ 7).



The "Final Report of the 'Best Practices' Panel" was published in late January and offers resolutions to ten issues that the panel identified, including documentation review and the appeals process.



This webinar, presented by Ruth Colker, Professor of Law, and L. Scott Lissner, ADA Coordinator, at The Ohio State University will offer key points of the case, and an overview of the identified issues and resolutions. The session gives important information for faculty, Disability Services, other campus professionals and students concerned about applying for and taking the LSAT.
