Why does the Law School take an applicant s race into account?
A. Because having a racially diverse class enables the Law School to do a better job of preparing students to be effective lawyers. Students are exposed to classmates who have had different life experiences, and their prior assumptions are challenged. Whenever an applicant s file reveals that he or she might add to the diversity of perspectives that are voiced in class, that helps the applicant s chances of admission.
