Jones, who is blind, says they aren't providing the accommodations she needs to take the the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination, the legal ethics exam all lawyers must take before they practice in Vermont and most other states.
Those accommodations - two pieces of computer software that help the visually impaired read - enable Jones to work at her best and have been key to the high B average she's maintained as a law student, she told the AP.
