"In California, for instance, where more people take the bar than in any other state, 14% of the nearly 8,000 test takers last July received accommodations, up from 4% a decade earlier, according to the state bar."
"The development follows one already coursing through high schools and colleges: More students have diagnoses for disabilities like ADHD and receive extra time for classwork or the SAT."
"I am generally all for accommodations - so much so that I think people who think they're totally fine should still get check-ups every once in a while."
A growing number of aspiring lawyers are requesting and receiving extra time to complete the bar exam, reflecting a trend seen in schools. In California, 14% of test takers received accommodations last July, up from 4% a decade ago. Washington, D.C. has seen similar increases, with over one in seven test takers receiving extra time. This trend mirrors the rise in students diagnosed with disabilities like ADHD, prompting law firms to adapt by supporting young associates with such diagnoses.
