Adrian Zack's problem / Maschinenschreiben

The Wall Street Journal law blog reported recently of a case where a student sued the University of Michigan Law School, alleging that its grading system discriminated against people with poor typing skills.

Adrian Yaroslaw Zachariasewycz probably spent ten minutes typing his own name. The complaint begins 'The plaintiffs (hereinafter Adrian Zack and Maria Zack) …'

The plaintiffs, acting per se, claim that in certain exams it was widely known that a large amount had to be written in a short time, and allowance was not made for some students not being able to touch type. Michigan Law School informed the WSJ blog that students can choose whether to write by hand or type.
