Me so litigious
I found this delightful story on the WSJ Law Blog. It seems Michigan Law alum Adrian Zachariasewycz got fired from his job and got poor grades on his exams, so he did the natural thing: he sued his law school (among others), because his poor typing skills put him at a disadvantage. He fails to mention that if he is so bad at typing law school exams, he could write them by hand - which is what I do, and I do pretty well. I'm not sure how it's Michigan's fault he chose the option at which he is not very good.
Here's my favorite portion of his complaint (PDF), which accuses Michigan of intentional interference with prospective business relations and civil conspiracy:
21. The Law School made no generally adequate accommodation to students with deficient typing skills that would allow them to compete on a level playing field with their manually more dexterous peers with better-developed keyboarding skills.
Good luck, buddy! We're all with you.
