Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.

To avoid litigation, the Alliance hopes these law firms will immediately modify their programs to bring them into compliance with our nation’s civil rights laws. No student should be treated differently because of their race or ethnicity.

— Edward Blum, leader of the American Alliance for Equal Rights, in comments given to Bloomberg Law over the organization’s threats against diversity fellowship programs at Winston & Strawn, Hunton Andrews & Kurth, and Adams and Reese. In response to the threat of litigation, Adams and Reese decided to do away with its program, saying it will not be accepting applications for its “1L Minority Fellowship.” The Alliance has already filed suit against Morrison Foerster and Perkins Coie, which both revised their DEI fellowships to remove race as a factor, leading to the lawsuits being dropped.
