Abstract

The United States Supreme Court held that a law school's narrowly tailored use of race in its admissions decisions is not prohibited by the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because the policy furthers a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that flow from having a diverse student body.
