New data from the American Bar Association shows that racial diversity among first-year law students hit a historic high in the final admissions cycle before a national ban on affirmative action took effect, Reuters reports. The data shows that 40% of this year's class are students of color, up one percentage point from last year. Law schools admitted 37,886 first-year students in law school programs across the country, a slight decrease from 38,060 last year.
