[blindlaw] taking the bar exam with jaws

[Jack Chen]

The accomodations were double time and a cassette tape of the exam.  I had 
to provide my own tape recorder.  It was tough to do the questions with long 
passages on tape, and I would not recommend do it that way if they didn't 
have to.  I liken taking an exam like that on tape to a sighted person 
taking the bar exam using a one line teleprompter.
