This session will
focus on the complexity involved in understanding what is a reasonable
accommodation from the perspective of the Department of Education. The program
will address the challenges involved in evaluating accommodations requests
including law school student competencies that are specific to the profession
and whether the accommodations may need to be specific to the legal education
program. Informed by the discussion, during the second part of the session,
panelists will offer guidance and ideas for a “tool kit” and best practices for
reviewing and evaluating exam and classroom accommodations requests and
managing student and faculty expectations.
