[blindLaw] Bar Exam Accommodations Must be IN Person

[Seif-Eldeen Saqallah]

Same, previously with Michigan
and same, also, with New York:
I am trying to get them to do it remotely (by perhaps having another
computer or phone as the remote monitoring software), though that is
less likely;
or to travel to my law school (still a drive away) and take it there,
provided that there be a room and proctor available.

Sincerely,
seif
