Binno's attorney, Jason Turkish, told CNN those are great accommodations for the other test sections, but they don't make passing the logic games section any more possible. "You can give him all the time in the world, he still can't draw a diagram," Turkish said.

The lawsuit that changed the LSAT for everyone
Blind applicants couldn't pass a section built on drawing diagrams. Jason took the Law School Admission Council to federal court.
The LSAT's analytical-reasoning section — the famous "logic games" — asked test-takers to sketch diagrams to work out the answers. For a blind applicant, no amount of extra time makes that possible. In 2017, Jason filed Binno v. Law School Admission Council in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of blind plaintiffs. Source ABA Journal · CNN
The case settled in October 2019. Beginning with the August 2024 exam, LSAC removed logic games from the LSAT — not just for blind test-takers, but for everyone. Source LSAC · Inside Higher Ed
From Michigan courtrooms to the White House
When Washington weighed cutting disability benefits for older workers, the advocates in the room were led by Jason.
The advocates, led by Jason Turkish, co-founder of the Social Security disability rights group Alliance for America's Promise, had sent the White House team ProPublica's Oct. 31 article and other materials.
