Justice Department Makes Law School Application Processes Accessible to Blind Applicants

The Justice Department announced on April 26 its participation in two related settlement agreements involving the accessibility of the Law School Admission Council's (LSAC) online application service, which is used by law schools nationwide for their application processes.  As a result of these agreements, LSAC's online application service, and the online application process of the nation's law schools, will be accessible to individuals who are blind. Under the first agreement, which resolves a lawsuit filed against LSAC by the National Federation of the Blind, LSAC will take critical steps to ensure that its online application website, www.lsac.org, will be fully accessible to individuals who use screen readers by the beginning of the fall 2012 application cycle.
