STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - A group founded by the conservative activist who led the successful U.S. Supreme Court challenge to the consideration of race in college admissions on Tuesday sued two major U.S. law firms over fellowships they offer to racial minorities and LGBT people, accusing them of unlawful bias against white candidates.
The lawsuits, brought in federal courts, accused both law firms of unlawfully discriminating against white candidates by limiting which law students could be considered for paid fellowships geared toward promoting greater diversity within the legal sector. "Excluding students from these esteemed fellowships because they are the wrong race is unfair, polarizing and illegal," Blum, who is white, said in a statement.
Morrison & Foerster, founded in San Francisco, has a similar program that is open to applicants who are Black, Hispanic, Native American or members of the LGBT community.
