Let’s not kid ourselves, it’s likely the “smart” people in class also have accommodations. LSAC posts accommodations numbers year by year and the average increase in numbers are significant. Further, high GPA doesn’t equate to “smart” and that’s not considering grade inflation.

“We can argue about how fair that is for your fellow competitors” is a bad comment. The accommodations are there for a reason. Try having to read over LSAT questions 6 times before your brain can actually process what your reading

I think someone with ADHD could be a good lawyer, succeed in law school, etc. If someone with ADHD is capable of meeting the performance standards expected of them in law school, working as a lawyer, etc (with or without reasonable accommodations) such as doing well in law school classes, passing the bar exam, being good at research work, being good at understanding law issues, being good at understanding legal issues, being good at debating, not being afraid to speak in front of crowds, etc then I think someone with ADHD is capable of being a lawyer. I know some people with ADHD that are lawyers.
