The so-called “logic games” section of the Law School Admission Test puts blind students at a disadvantage. That is the argument of a Michigan man who filed a petition with the United States Supreme Court.
Angelo Binno , who is blind from birth, was rejected by every law school he applied to for low scores on his admission test. Binno says visually impaired students are at a disadvantage with the test.
He wants law schools to be allowed to waive the L-SAT.
Right now law schools potentially face sanctions if they waive the L-SAT or a similar test.
Jason Turkish is Binno’s attorney. He says the problem is spatial reasoning and diagramming needed to do a quarter of the exam.
“The American Bar Association forces this young man to litigate all the way to the United States Supreme Court to prove that a blind person shouldn’t draw a picture.”
The American Bar Association has said in the past that they are the wrong organization to be sued in this case.
