[il-talk] Graduation

Tue May 15 22:29:20 UTC 2018

Thank you, Denise. I must say I have been very fortunate getting all needed accommodations generally: not just on the bar. For example, when I requested accommodations for the MPRE, I got approved for all requested accommodations only two days after submitting my request. I also did not have any problems getting accommodations on the LSAT, which I took before the consent decree requiring the LSAC to change how it reviews accommodation requests went into effect. I hope that these positive experiences will become more common in our community as we continue to advocate for equal access for blind Americans.

Best,

Michal

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words and wishes. Tomorrow I am beginning
the next chapter of my legal career: preparing for the Illinois bar exam. I
have been approved for all accommodations I requested, so while the exam
will undoubtedly be difficult, I expect everything will run smoothly.

my long journey through higher education. I would like to especially thank
Steve Hastalis for having been an excellent friend and mentor from the first
day I came in contact with the Federation in the Spring of 2009. Steve,
thanks to you, I have come to view mass transit not as a tool for getting
from point A to point B, but as a way of life and a symbol of independence.
I would also like to thank the NFBI Scholarship Committee for helping me
finance my undergraduate degree through three scholarships. Without that
degree, I would not be eligible to study law.
