Brief Amici Curiae of the Hispanic National Bar Association and the Hispanic Association of Colleges & Universities Supporting Respondents in Grutter v. Bollinger, et al.

Legal Brief - February 18, 2003 -


  • The original legislative intent of the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment establishes that respondents' use of race is consistent with the proper interpretation of "the equal protection of laws."
  • The Supreme Court's decision in Bakke, which found that the use of race in a university admissions process is constitutionally permissible, was correctly applied by the Court of Appeals.
  • Affirmative action in law school admissions is critical to the attainment of diversity in the legal profession.
