Date: March 17th, 2018 8:37 PM Author: Dun drunken orchestra pit She said she couldn't recall one finishing in the top quarter, and said they were rarely in the top half. She also claimed there was a diversity quota for the law review, which the school denies but I don't believe for an instant.

Date: March 18th, 2018 7:54 PM Author: Duck-like Mildly Autistic Plaza Knife Haven't there actually been studies on black and white gpas in law school? OF COURSE:
https://ianayres.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/AyresBrooksResponse.pdf
Richard Sander’s study of affirmative action at U.S. law schools highlights a real and serious problem: the average black law student’s grades are jaw-droppingly low. 1 With the exception of traditionally black law schools (where blacks still make up 43.8% of the student body), the median black law school grade point average is at the 6.7 percentile of white law students. 2 This means that only 6.7% of whites have lower grades than 50% of blacks. One finds similar result if look at the other end of the distribution – only 7.5% of blacks have grades that are higher than the white median.
This point has been observed previously by a number of scholars. See e.g., Gita Wilder, The Road to Law School and Beyond: Examining Challenges to Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Legal Profession (LSAC Research Report, 02-01 (August 2003), especially pages 21-26; Timothy Clydesdale, A Forked River Runs Through the Law School, October 2004 issue of Law and Social Inquiry; David Chambers, Get Title, 52 Buffalo L. Rev. 569-576 (March 2004). |
