Subject: [blindlaw] Questions for February LSAT takers
Message-ID: <7E04B516-5F6C-4F27-B177-762132552E10@gmail.com>

Hello everyone.  I would like to talk to any other people that took the LSAT this past February.  If you don’t mind, I would like to see what kind of score you got and how the sections went for you.

I also have a general question.  What is the longest  time someone can get for the logic games and reading comp sections?

I also really do think KAPLAN’s accessibility issues had a great impact on my score.

If any of you would like to call regarding any of these topics, please feel free to do so.  I am in the Eastern time zone.

Aimee

Hello Aimee,
I took the LSAT this February and did well. I earned a score that should be sufficient to get into the schools to which I applied.
 
I was allowed double time for each section of the LSAT. I needed most of the time on all sections of the exam. Overall though, I didn't think it was that bad. Did you take the exam? If so, how did you feel it went? 

Regards,
Melanie

Hello Aimee and all, 

Double time is the longest LSAC will permit according to the document attached to Anita's email written a few weeks ago.

Message-ID: <54F87FEC.8090207@yahoo.com>

Dear List,
I hope you are all well and managing to stay warm in what seems to be a 
never-ending winter. I would appreciate your thoughts and advice on the 
best sort of preparation for becoming an effective advocate, both in 
court and on the public policy level, for the blind and others with 
disabilities. I am about to start law school in the fall, and without 
going into details, I have several very attractive options in terms of 
scholarships to choose from. I am specifically interested in the 
importance, if any, in going to a law school which has one or more 
faculty in the area of disability law, clinical opportunities in this 
area, etc. Is there any genuine advantage in doing this, or is it just 
as well to go to a place with no faculty in this area but an all-around 
solid program? In terms of post-graduation employment, is coursework in 
this area important, or is it sufficient to publish an article or two on 
disability law and/or work over the summer with a relevant organization? 
IN sum, I am trying to figure out how important it is that school X has 
professor Y or clinic Z in disability law in making what is already 
going to be a tough decision. Thanks, and if this conversation goes 
beyond the parameters of this list, please feel free to write me off

I was still able to see with extreme correction while in law school and the first years of employment as a lawyer, so my answer will be a bit different than others might.  I had a classmate who was also suffering from a genetic condition that would eventually lead to total blindness, as well as a student in the class ahead of me who was already totally blind and reliant on a braille writer for class notes.

>From the push-back, frustrations, and general public ignorance that I have experienced maintaining my position as my sight continues to disappear, I would lean towards a college with a good disability law program.  In my home state (Arizona), the general perception, even of the bar itself, is that disability law and accommodations are primarily limited to  physical (movement) disabilities.  The sensory disabilities are somewhat of an afterthought, if that, although the adult division of the superior court does have computer relay technology available for deaf jurors and (presumably) attorneys.  The visually impaired are generally not addressed at all, except on their own complaints and efforts.  Our law schools, at least in southern Arizona, do not have a specific disability law program and thus do nothing to remedy this situation.  Our courts use websites for access to records that are, at best, only partially accessible to assistive technology, and more often inaccessible. Office file management programs and time / attendance programs are similarly inaccessible to assistive technology.  All of this is in spite of the fact that, as a sunbelt state, we have a large population of persons suffering from sensory and physical disabilities, due to age, illness, and military service.

It is my opinion that the inclusion of disability law coursework in law schools would go far to remedy these barriers.  If that is an area of interest to you - go for it.  And best of luck in your future career!

I would actually argue in the alternative. Given how the legal market is, and how hard it is to find a job, I'd lean toward the school with the best employment numbers. Most lawyers have something like 12 jobs over the course of their life so no need to pick a school for one area of law. Furthermore, disability law touches on several types of other law (constitutional, employments, contract, statutory interpretation) etc. 

You still take 54 hours of class in your law school career or so and only a small number will be about disability. 

Finally, you can use your summers to get awesome internships in disability law and get your experience that way (better than taking a class both in terms of learning and your resume). 

Best wishes

Message-ID: <0535E70B2D054E47A7663DD63507C4EE240E20B0@x10-mbx15.yu.yale.edu>

Hello,

I am a legally blind 1L student at Yale Law School. Yale will pay for me to work for any non-profit legal organization (or most government offices), gratis, this summer. I couldn't be where I am today without the dedicated work of many professionals who serve the blind and low vision community, so I'd like to give back by working on disability righs litigation this summer, helping to make sure others have similar opportunities.

Yale has high expectations for our summer work, so It is important that the bulk of my time be devoted to substantive litigation matters--researching the law, drafting legal memoranda and briefs, advising clients, arguing in court if the opportunity presented itself. However, I am open as to the particular case(s) I would work on, as well as the organization and the city (anywhere in the US). Again, I would not need to be paid.

Does anyone have any leads?

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to getting to know the list members. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need advice from a current law student.

Warm regards,

James Mandilk

Google the disability rights bar association. Check out member organizations of the national disability rights network. I worked for Disability Rights Advocates, www.dralegal.org. They have offices in new York City and Berkeley California.

Very good to know. Has anyone read this book? I have seen it mentioned several places, but have never talked with anyone who has actually read it and use the strategies therein. I'd love to hear from anyone with experience. Thanks!

>I'm pleased to share exciting news: yesterday, March 19, 2015, Judge William
>K. Sessions III issued a beautifully written opinion holding that companies

>Disability Rights Advocates (DRA) filed a lawsuit last year in the U.S.

>Scribd, Inc. for failing to design its website and apps in a manner
>accessible to blind readers. Rather than providing access to blind readers
>who want to read the more than 40 million books and documents in the Scribd
>collection, Scribd moved to dismiss the case alleging that the ADA exempts
>businesses that operate exclusively online.

>Confirming what DRA, NFB, and other advocates have argued, the Court ruled
>on March 19th that the ADA does indeed cover online businesses. "Now that
>the internet plays such a critical role in the personal and professional
>lives of Americans, excluding disabled persons from access to covered
>entities that use it as their principal means of reaching the public would
>defeat the purpose of this important civil rights legislation," the Court
>wrote.

>The Court's ruling signals to online businesses the importance of designing

>Advocates around the country celebrate the Court's confirmation that the ADA

Dear Ms. nightingale:
I am currently a 1L law student at Washburn University in Topeka Kansas. Although I am currently planning to spend this summer on A study and internship abroad in Geneva Switzerland through Santa Clara law, I was wondering if the United States Department of Justice has any kind of internship programs for law students Who are considering working for the federal government. I would appreciate any information on working for the federal government in DC you might be able to find.
Thank you, Daniel Moore.

Howdy, my name is Derek Manners and the DOJ does have a summer internship program.  The process is very competitive though. There are also a lot of internships with the government at virtually every agency. What type of law are you interested in?

Best wishes

Congratulations.  Now it all starts.  And when you get notice that you passed the bar in three years, you can breathe a sigh of relief because it will be over.

Just out of curiosity...would this apply to on-line services such as ADP (for payroll, time / attendance, and other HR related matters)?  It is not fully accessible, and thus I have had to give my password - and thus access to all of my personal information and that of my n=beneficiaries/dependents - to co-workers to complete the various tasks that are assigned through that portal.  I would LOVE to be able to cite this to our HR department if others who have had time to read the opinion (I have not yet had the time, thanks to work) believe it applicable.

Message-ID: <006201d0698c$2c105470$8430fd50$@icloud.com>

Dear Jacobus TenBroek Disability Law Symposium Attendees,

 

I hope this message finds you well.  I am writing to let you all know that I
had a great time at this year's symposium.  I learned a great deal about the
Federation's vision of disability rights for the next 25 years at the
plenary sessions and workshops.  Most important, though, I met several blind
law students and attorneys.

 

I would also like to thank publicly Lou Ann Blake for organizing and
coordinating this symposium.  Lou Ann, I know that putting together this
event required tremendous effort and commitment on your part, and I greatly
appreciate your willingness to invest the resources and energy necessary to
make it happen.

 

I look forward to attending future TenBroek symposiums.  I also look forward
to reuniting with many of you at this year's NFB Convention in Orlando and,
of course, to meeting additional lawyers, as well as current and prospective
law students.

 

All the Best,

 

Michal Nowicki

Message-ID: <SNT146-W1562F657D724A4053D5763D1F50@phx.gbl>

The Mid-Atlantic Lyceum is pleased to hold (with the Animal Law Section as a supporter) the next in its innovative "talk show" series -- Salon Series -- involving animals, and where applicable, disabilities on 28 May.
 
In this series, I interview, at the moment -- once a year, a noted author who has published on animal related topics. Unlike other "talk shows" this has value in that I treat the series as a facillitated conversation with me hopeful for participation by the audience.

Dear All:

 

I am prepping for the LSAT, and I was surprised by my conversation with the
LSAC disability accommodations representative today.

 

I thought that all I needed to do was to call LSAC and request a digital
copy of the digital sample LSAT. I was informed that I had to have a digital
version of the LSAT approved as an accommodation before I could request a
digital sample.

 

Does anyone know if what they will send is anything different from the
digital copy of the LSAT found at this link:
http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/sampleptjune.pdf?

 

I look forward to your response.

 

Thank you.

You'll definitely want to read through the occommodations request packat
found at lsac.org. Not only do you have to fill out their occommodations
requestion, but there's also a ton of documentation you'll need including,
but not limited to, a letter showing what types of occommodations you had on
the SAT, ACT, etc, letters from the disability support services at your
coleges detailing your occommodations, a medical report, etc. I'm not sure
what else but it is very clearly outlined. I'm currently in the process of
requesting occommodations as well. I'm having difficulty because I graduated
from college in 1998 and too the SAT in 1993 before graduating from high
school. Needless to say, none of the documentation LSAC wants is available.
I'm going to submit my medical documentation, as well as a letter describing
my situation and the reasons for my requested occommodations, and hope for
the best.
Good luck to you.

Anita,

It is true that LSAC doesn't provide accessible practice tests until the
testtaker is approved for accommodations, and that practice tests are
provided only in the format in which the person has been approved to take
the test.  The good news, however, is that the practice tests they provide
are in exactly the same format as the official test.  The link you posted is
to the PDF version of the free practice test available through LSAC's
website.  The site also contains an HTML version, which is what you're going
to get on test day.  With that in mind, I suggest that you work with the
HTML version to get the best idea of what to expect when it counts.  Good
luck!

Michal

Anita, 

The electronic copy that I received as a practice exam was not like the one in the link. However, the CD that they will send you after approval for accommodations is exactly like the actual test on test day. (the questions are different of course) There is a PC and Mac version of the test available. For prep, I would recommend a thing called BenchPrep. I used this and it was accessible, for the most part, using voiceover on my iPhone. I’m sure that if android phones/tablets have accessibility features would make it accessible as well. 

Just a short rant:

You should be very careful and stubbon when dealing with LSAC. They make it as difficult as they possibly can for those who require accommodations to take the LSAT. They have ridiculously burdensome requirements compared with all other major testing agencies or universities. If you ask for a particular accommodation and ar told it is unable or are told a certain format of the test is unavailable and they say it isn’t, keep asking. When I asked for a Mac comparable electronic version of the test they lied to me several times before letting me take a Mac accessible version of the test. In my opinion, the accommodations department of LSAC does not exist to help you, but rather to hinder you. All that said,  the policies of LSAC should have relaxed a bit since I took the LSAT seeing as how they just sellted a pretty large class action suite and agreed to policy changes. 

Best of luck and i recommend you do everything short of harassing LSAC to get the accommodations you need.

Anita,

I'm very interested to hear the group's answer to your question.  In
general, you will find that LSAC has been very resistant, perhaps even
hostile, to providing equal access for disabled applicants.  There is a long
history of litigation and controversy here.

All,

Just a bit of advice: Keep a digital copy of your entire LSAC accommodation request package, as some state bars (Maryland, for example) ask for the entire package as part of your application for accomodations on the bar exam.

Also, Bookshare has a book collecting ten past actual LSAT exams.

Best of luck,

Yes, but LSAC's HTML version is far superior in formatting and navigability
than any of bookshare's LSAT prep material. 

Thanks for the Bar tip.
