On Thursday, June 29, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court released its decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc vs. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admission, Inc v. University of North Carolina examining the role of affirmative action in higher education admissions decisions. 

Over the next several weeks and months, we will gain a greater understanding of how this recent decision may impact the law school admissions landscape.  As we continue to gain greater insights, we will be here to help provide guidance in the law admissions process.
