Wonderful Disability Ruling by 9th Circuit!

Stephanie Enyart, a law graduate who is blind, asked the National Conference of Bar Examiners if she could take the bar exam with assistive technology software. The Bar Examiners instead offered a reader, an audio CD and text magnification.  Ms. Enyart explained why these proposals were unacceptable.  The Examiners stood firm.  So did Ms. Enyart.

Read about how the 9th Circuit handled this case.  Thanks to Loyola Law School's Professor Michael Waterstone for bringing this to our attention.   Having worked directly providing accommodations for several blind law students, I applaud this decision ... the visually impaired students I was given the opportunity to work with proved to be some of the most dedicated, tenacious, and courageous law students I've met.  Congratulations Ms. Enyart!
