In a recent turn of events, a Colorado state judge has decreed that a law school graduate, who has visual impairments and ADHD, should be provided with additional time to take the upcoming bar examination. The directive was given to the state attorney licensing board, with the judge expressing confidence that the examinee would garner evidence to support his requirement for a 50% increase in timing.
The impending bar examination for this specific law graduate, therefore, is set for a unique alteration, intended to factor in his disabilities. The decision sets a precedent in Colorado, enabling future treatment of similar cases with a reference point. This adaptation is expected to contribute significantly towards leveling the playing field for law graduates with disabilities.
