Executives of the six-year-old business gave Davis students the rights to sell the systems in Yolo County.

Like most law students, Sara Granda had no easy time getting through the UC Davis School of Law. Yet unlike most students, Granda is a quadriplegic who was denied an opportunity to take the California State Bar exam back in July 2009. She was told she could not take the exam because of issues with her payment. Her case was taken to the California Supreme Court – who unanimously decided that Granda would be allowed to take the exam.

In fact, he did it himself for over ten years – raising more than $45,000 for charity. But that’s not stopping him from going the brick-and-mortar route. In February, Linz and his wife, Susan, opened Logos Books, a used and out-of-print bookstore at 513 Second St. in Downtown Davis.
