Cases that changed the rules
When a rule shut disabled people out, Jason took it to court: a bar exam, a ballot, a wrestling mat, an airport curb. These are the cases, told the way courts and reporters recorded them.

The LSAT drops logic games — for everyone
In 2017, Jason filed Binno v. LSAC on behalf of blind plaintiffs: the exam's analytical-reasoning section was built on drawing diagrams, something no accommodation can make possible if you cannot see. The case settled in October 2019, and beginning with the August 2024 exam, LSAC removed logic games from the LSAT — for every test-taker in the country.
A national exam changed for every applicant, sighted or not.

Blind voters mark their own ballots
Blind Michigan voters could not cast a paper absentee ballot privately and independently. Jason represented them in federal litigation against the state — and in May 2020, following a judge's order, blind voters used accessible electronic absentee ballots for the first time.
A first in Michigan: a private, independent absentee vote.

A decorated veteran asks to come home
An Army veteran came back from Afghanistan with PTSD; his border post felt like the war he'd survived. He didn't ask for benefits or money — only a transfer. Jason took up his fight for, in his words to the Detroit Free Press, "the most basic of accommodations."

A deaf wrestler gets an interpreter he can see
A deaf high-school wrestling captain was told his sign-language interpreter had to stay where he couldn't see them from the mat. After a year of failed negotiation and a federal lawsuit, the MHSAA rewrote its rule — deaf wrestlers now get full access to an interpreter at matches.
The rule changed for every deaf wrestler in Michigan.
