    SFAI v. Harvard University prohibited affirmative action in admissions. Pipeline programs are a means of maintaining and increasing diversity. Proven pathway/pipeline programs already exist. The program will highlight two longstanding high school pipeline programs: Street Law (since 1972) and Marshall Brennan Constitutional Literacy Program (since 1999). The panelists make the case for law schools to adopt, adapt, and sustain such programs.
    The panelists will discuss
    • the value of high school and college pipeline programs,
    • sustainability of successful programs,
    • law schools’ critical role in facilitating these programs in partnership with central campus administrations, local/state bar associations, local employers, and others.
