[blindlaw] LSAC questions

[Shayla Key Parker]

Interestingly, I was asked to participate in a survey about my 
experiences with the LSAC last fall, just after I'd taken the exam 
with accommodations. Apparently they are at least making a show of 
addressing some of the issues, though of course this will probably 
take years and might not go anywhere at all.

I, of course, told them exactly what I thought of their process. 
Which was not complimentary, needless to say.
