[il-talk] something of interest

[AZNOR99 at aol.com]

Debbie and All,
While it is true that the NFB and the Law School Admissions Council had  
scheduled meetings with the goal of negotiating a solution to the lack of access  
for blind people, LSAC canceled those meetings and did not reschedule them. 
 
As ever, negotiating a settlement during pending litigation is possible and  
may result in the outcome we want.  For now, we all will have to stay  tuned.

Suit  Says Law Admissions Group Canâ?Tt See Its Anti-Blind Bias


The  National Federation of the Blind and a blind law school applicant sued
the  Law School Admission Council last week, charging that its Web  site,
essential to those preparing for the Law School Admission Test,  is
inaccessible to blind people, effectively blocking them from law  school.
Web sites can be â?otaggedâ? so that blind people can use software  to
navigate
and obtain information, but the suit charges that the law  school site lacks
this necessary tagging. Joan Van Tol, general counsel for  the law school
group, told The National Law Journal that she was  disappointed that the
National Federation for the Blind sued â?owhen we  fully expected to address
their concerns through productive  meetings.�
