Boom! Lawyered

The End of Affirmative Action


Listen Later

Well, it happened: The Supreme Court killed affirmative action, with all six conservative justices—yes, including so-called moderate Chief Justice John Roberts—ruling against the policy in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard/University of North Carolina.

In the live season finale of Boom! Lawyered, Jess and Imani break down the majority and dissenting opinions, and the impact it will have on college admissions. They also dig into 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, which is expected to come down Friday—the final day of the Court's term—and Melissa Gira Grant’s bombshell report in the New Republic.
