[blindlaw] Do Blind People Have a Right to Visual Memory

[Daniel McBride]

Chris:

I wish to second Deepinder Goraya's gratitude to you, Claire Stanley and
Derek Manners for your perseverance in resolving the issue with BarBri's
failure to make proper accommodations during your bar review program. I am
hopeful that BarBri was required to compensate the three of you for all
expense suffered during the process. Congrats to the three of you and all
those who will follow.

This is a great question. My best guess is that a person could likely argue
that someone has such a right under the ADA, assuming the accommodation is
reasonable, obviously. I don't imagine, for instance, that it would be a
reasonable accommodation to video your fellow patrons in a public gym
lockerroom.

I do not, however, think that equal protection has been stretched far enough
to even create a whiff at a constitutional right. And nor do I imagine any
such right will be read into the Constitution any time soon, no matter how
pursuasively argued.

Thanks for the thought-provoking question!

Best,
Chris
