Affirmative action case topic of next Wolverine Bar meeting, Oct. 8
The next Wolverine Bar Association membership meeting will take a look at "Michigan's Affirmative Action Ban and the Challenges to be Heard by the U.S. Supreme Court" on Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Bodman Law Offices located on the 6th Floor of Ford Field in downtown Detroit.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently scheduled oral arguments in the matter of Schuette vs. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action for Tuesday, Oct. 15. This monumental case involves a challenge to Michigan's Proposal 2, which amended the state constitution to bar affirmative action at public universities. An engaging panel discussion will address the constitutional arguments at issue plus provide insight and perspective from the attorneys who will be arguing the case before the Supreme Court. The panel will also focus on how Proposal 2 has significantly impacted minority enrollment at state law schools and future implications of the Supreme Court's decision.
The panel of guests includes:
* U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Helene White, Sixth Circuit.
* Wayne State University Law School Professor Robert Sedler.
* George Washington, counsel for the Coalition to Defendant Affirmative Action.
* Wayne State University Law School Asst. Dean of Admissions Ericka Jackson.
