: Legal Pad | LAGovernor intervenes on behalf of disabled student's bar exam case
By Richard Binder
Sara Granda, a recent graduate of the University of California, Davis School of Law and a paraplegic, failed to meet a June 15 online application deadline for the bar exam. Her attorney, Stewart Katz, of the Law Offices of Stewart Katz in Sacramento, says that Granda paid her $684 application fee by check instead of credit card. But the online application required a credit card payment.
When a federal judge denied Granda's petition in the Eastern District of California, she then filed a petition before the California Supreme Court. Over the weekend, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger intervened on Granda's behalf, stating: "It is outrageous that someone who has overcome so much in life is penalized by a bureaucratic error that prevents her from taking the bar exam next week."
