[blindLaw] Exam soft

[Seif-Eldeen Saqallah]

That is an alternative.
However, I receive the exam in an accessible format from an individual
designated by the law school for testing accommodations,
and email it back to that individual,
whose office reformats and submits it anonymously.
This is what I do in Law school;
for undergrad, I had a disability form (proof of accommodations from
that office) and often dealt with the professors directly without
disability-office intervention.

Sincerely,
Seif
