Woman fights to use adaptive technology during bar exam
November 24th, 2009From the San Jose Mercury News:
UCLA law graduate Stephanie Enyart is suing the National Conference of Bar Examiners for the right to use adaptive technology when taking the bar exam. She has a form of macular degeneration that has taken away her central vision but leaves her some peripheral vision.
The California Bar Associaiton approved Enyart’s request to use both a text-to-audio reader and a screen magnifier, but the NCBE has said it won’t allow her to use the screen magnifier during the multi-state portion of the test. The NCBE declined to comment; Enyart said it cited cost and security concerns in denying her request.
