(There will be a "Part 2: Policy Implications.")

This is mine.

It occurs to me that there must be something that works with screen readers, but probably not something you can quickly hop over to?

fyi, the link in this post is cut off and doesn't work. (the one in the quoted link works)

Actually glitching back to the 70s and 80s, because the specific phrase "pick up the phone" (which is how I first read "pick up my phone" when skimming this) immediately brings up an image of the phone in my parents' kitchen.

A friend of mine once had a package that was addressed to the right city but with the zip code of a city several states away, and it spent months going back and forth.

The bad local-bar question I'm thinking of was a 45-minute essay question to which the correct answer was "yes" followed by a citation to a statute.

Tricky b/c they're in the middle of switching to a new format and type of question. As to the old version, based on what's publicly available, I think they're pretty good. I haven't seen the sorts of mistakes that show up regularly on state high school standardized math tests, for example.

In case you haven't seen it, you might like this.

So ... do people actually agree with the general dunking on the PJ issue? The def's brief egregiously mischaracterizes Ford Motor; the order does so less egregiously but still misses the point of the gloss on BMS; and the district precedent that both rely on involved a foreign defendant.

(4) Because lawyers are expected not just to plug-and-play existing law but to participate in a common-law tradition of developing more just and equitable laws, which means coming out of law school with an intellectual framework, not a list of rules.

quirks is trivially easy compared to acquiring conceptual understanding of a subject area. (usually; possible exception for Louisiana) (3) Because sometimes testing a particular concept requires isolating it from other considerations.

(1) Because you do not want to see how bad the questions are when they're written by local lawyers testing their particular state's law. (2) Because lawyers should know not only their state's rule but also how their state's rule sits in the overall landscape of the field. Learning your state's

Okay, there's a self-own in that they seem to have conceded the Ford point despite putting in evidence that would have helped get through on that.

I support sticking to "Ms Smith" because if they start using "Prof Smith" the admins are going to start demanding to be called "Associate Executive Vice-Chancellor for Strategyric Synergies Smith."

They should ask for grand jury transcripts on that one, too.

Can't they put that question into an LLM as easily as any other?

I suppose we could try designating all students as each others' constructive proctors in the large-group rooms and then tell DS that the exams are proctored so they would handle the private rooms. : ) (The main logistics problem is a shortage of rooms in the law school building.)

I think the concern is that our exams are usually unproctored, but if (some) disabled students have a proctor, it sends a message that we trust them less. For me, it's more like, "I trust you not to use your phone in front of 50 classmates more than I trust you not to do so in a room by yourself."

The constraint is having a proctor. In a DS-administered exam w/ a private-room accommodation, there are two people in the room: the student and a proctor. But in all other law school exams, the only people in the room are the students taking the test.
