I’m delighted to report that my colleague Rick Sander will be guest-blogging over the next several days about his recent article on the effect of race-based affirmative action on black law students and lawyers. He will begin either this afternoon or Monday.
Rick has a Ph.D. in Economics as well as a J.D., and has been teaching at UCLA since 1989. He is also:
-

His article A Systemic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools is coming out shortly in the Stanford Law Review.
He can be reached at sander at law.ucla.edu, but — as with the other bloggers on this site — he may be unable to respond to messages sent to him.
