The Republicans take issue with ABA's Standard 206, which they say requires law schools to emphasize race-based admissions and hiring processes.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti speaks during a news conference Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, in Nashville, Tenn.
Giving preferential treatment to certain races over others would violate discrimination laws and would “burden every law school in America with punitive civil-rights litigation," according to the attorneys general. The letter closes by noting “whatever the intent behind Standard 206 might be, it cannot lawfully be implemented in its current or revised forms.”
