      JD-Next program opened a simulation for a certain time period during a week when a federal holiday was in play. Juneteenth was a day of celebrations, and contacting Aspen Publishing prior to resulted in a discriminatory NO, we will not extend the simulation testing period. There is no consideration for students of color, I suppose for me as a woman of color either. For a program intended to give me a path forward, they have shut me out without explanation. I demand a full refund or they can reopen the simulation so that I can take the next JD-Next exam.
