[blindLaw] Current or recent law school experience

[Christine B]

I did utilize Kurzweil 3000 but I believe my school needed lead time for
that and our professors weren’t giving book lists far enough in advance, so
that was putting undue stress on students with vision disabilities. I
finally gave up on that assist as a result.

I graduated in 2021, and thinking back now about trying to navigate law
school and the bar and the MPRE with a vision disability and all the
roadblocks and hurdles I encountered from the Deans at the school (UIC
Law), NCBE and Pierson Vue, gives me great anxiety and sadness. It’s
honestly a miracle I am a licensed attorney today given all those who tried
to make it impossible for me.

For anyone experiencing similar roadblocks with the NCBE and Pierson Vue,
the US Department of Justice is conducting an investigation. Please contact
Justin.page2 at usdoj.gov if you have been unfairly treated regarding
disability accommodations for the bar and/or the MPRE. Please spread the
word also.
