Honor Student Sues Over LSAT Accommodation
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2004 -- A Phi Beta Kappa honors student from the University of California/Berkeley has filed suit over a refusal to provide him acccommodation for taking the LSAT law school admission test. The student, Joshua Davidson, a quadriplegic, has maintained a 4.0 grade point average in undergraduate school, but the LSAT has refused to provide him with an electronic version of the test, insisting that he "rely upon a human attendant to mark up the test booklet and cross out incorrect answers," according to his attorney.
