Legal Education for Blacks

In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 407, S. 144-155

Abstract

The need for additional black lawyers should be obvious to all. No attempt is made to rehearse the arguments that were made in the early 1960's re the desirability of minority recruitment programs. Rather, it is attempted to depict the past & present experiences of black law students. Their story in legal educ is viewed in the natural history of matriculation in a law Sch. Thus, admissions, financial aid, attrition, bar examinations, & placement are among the topics discussed. Additional data are included on the org's extant which have made & are continuing to make it possible for enough blacks to participate in legal educ to make this article possible. HA.
