[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw this press release from Sen. Tom Cotton. I remember in law school being surprised firms were allowed to have “diversity 1L” jobs that were only given to URM applicants in practice. Seems like maybe they never were allowed to.

Holy overreach Batman. Do the good people of Arkansas not have any problems that could use solving that Cotton has to waste his time with this? Pathetic. [/quote]

Can you explain how taking note of systemic violations of a law passed by Congress by a member of the Senate is an overreach? Not sure I follow. [/quote]

We have a process with the EEOC and the courts to address such violations. Is there some evidence that those processes are not working for the supposed wronged parties?

Also, I'm not sure how much public, or jury, sympathy there's going to be for a Plaintiff that ended up at the second best law firm in the country. Truly a mystery why these plaintiffs haven't sued.

Last, Arkansas is in the bottom 10 of states in the areas of education, health, prescribed opioids,  and crime. I don't think Cotton's constituents are being well-served here. But the permanently aggrieved white base will eat it right up. Yum yum.[/quote]
