The New York State Board of Law Examiners has sovereign immunity from a lawsuit claim by a Harvard Law School graduate who sued over failure to accommodate her anxiety-related disability, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at New York ruled against Tamara Wyche, who alleged in a June 2016 suit that she lost her job at Ropes & Gray after she flunked the bar exam twice. She passed the bar on her third try in February 2015 after she was given double time to take the exam.
