In 1993, when her lawsuit was first filed, the Bar permitted her to take the exam with the accommodations she requested--on the condition that the results would be withheld until the court issued its judgment. Afforded extra time, provided with tape recorders and freed from that pesky answer sheet, Bartlett failed for the fifth consecutive time. Rest assured, she will try again...
