Brief Amicus Curiae of the New York State Black and Puerto Rican Legislative Caucus in Grutter v. Bollinger, et al.

Legal Brief - February 19, 2003 -


  • The Supreme Court must reject Petitioner's argument that the only constitutionally permissible means to admit students from different racial or ethnic backgrounds is through rigid adherence to an odds ratio formula that permanently disadvantages already underrepresented minority groups.
  • The University of Michigan Law School did not violate the rights of white applicants when they accepted members of minority groups who had slightly lower LSAT scores than other applicants in the same cell.
