A conservative nonprofit legal group, American First Legal, is warning law schools that give preferences to minorities and women that it will sue over those policies following last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision on affirmative action at two undergraduate schools. According to Reuters, the group sent letters to 200 U.S. law schools warning them not to give preferences in admissions, hiring or law journal selection. The group also said decisions based on factors in an applicant's biography that could serve as a proxy for race — such as socioeconomic status — also would be challenged. Read the letter.
