[blindlaw] Time on the LSAT

[J Steele-Louchart]

Jameyanne,

You bring up a good point. Had I been able to do my logic games in
braille, I would've had a very different experience with them.
Unfortunately, my braille skills aren't yet where they need to be for
me to have taken the test in braille.
