Why did the Center for Individual Rights (CIR) sue the Law School?
A. In 1997, the Law School decided not to offer admission to a white applicant named Barbara Grutter. CIR then brought a class action asking for money damages and injunctive relief. The class action uses Barbara Grutter as the named plaintiff. CIR claims that Barbara Grutter was harmed because the Law School s admissions process is not “colorblind.
