As a college student, I know for a fact that many struggle when it comes to taking exams. Some get anxious, nervous, distracted, and even scared, but when the exam is over, you feel somewhat relieved until the day you see those test scores. The same happens when it comes to nursing mothers taking the LSAT (Law School Admission Test), but with one difference; it is a necessity for nursing mothers to pump breast milk. If a nursing mother is not pumping breast milk, it can cause several health risks and it can cause leaking, which in anyone’s situation is an embarrassing moment. Not only are there health risks and embarrassment involved, but not pumping on time can also cause a lot of pain. That pain and leaking could cause distraction and more anxiety for the test.

Sign the petition that changes the blanket policy of denying all requests for accommodation for nursing mothers made by the Law School Admissions Council. If nursing mothers are not given the right accommodations to take the LSAT, their scores can be affected and jeopardize their admission to Law School.
