Should
Law Schools Terminate Affirmative Action Programs to Help
Eliminate Bias in the Legal Profession
Speakers:
John W. Patton
Widespread criticism is raging about a Stanford Law Review
article by UCLA Professor of Law, Richard Sanders, in which he
concludes affirmative action has not accomplished its purpose
and that minority attorneys would double their bar pass rate and
get better paying jobs if they did not receive law school
admission preferential treatment. South Africa and nationally
recognized UCLA Professor of Law, Cheryl Harris, strongly
debates his conclusions. John W. Patton, II, will objectively
analyze the factual bases and fallacies of Sanders’ research and
conclusions, as well as those of Professor Harris. A Howard
University School of Law alumn, Mr. Patton is a Litigation
Attorney and Partner at Century City’s Pasternak, Pasternak &
Patton. He has the dubious distinction of having being arrested
in Beverly Hills with his family in his car, for "driving while
black," moments after his installation as 96/97 Beverly Hills
Bar Association President.
