A pregnant law student at Georgetown faced significant challenges when her request to defer exams close to her due date was denied. Initially told she must take her final exam just days after giving birth, the situation sparked outrage within the student body. Following a public outcry and intervention from her peers, the law school ultimately agreed to allow the student to postpone her exam. This incident has led to calls for policy changes regarding pregnancy accommodations at the institution, highlighting ongoing issues surrounding support for pregnant students in elite law schools.
