[blindlaw] LSAC questions

[Joe Orozco]

I am taking preliminary steps to register with LSAC, and I would be 
interested in hearing from people who've taken the exam in Braille. 
Specifically, how much time did you receive?  How accessible were any 
diagrams/graphs which may be included in the test?  I've obtained my own 
Braille practice materials from other sources, but did the company provide 
any Braille practice materials as part of their registration process?  On a 
more general front, I've just started my Master's but am planning ahead for 
law school applications next fall.  I'd like to take the exam in June and 
wonder if it's too early to begin registering.  Thanks to anyone who can 
share relevant information.

Regards,

Joe Orozco
