That question is the title of a panel this Tuesday at the American Enterprise Institute, in which I'll be presenting a paper on the legal implications of the growing use of race and gender preferences in law firm employment. My deep interest in the preferences issue dates back to my five-plus years with the Center for Individual Rights, including my work on the University of Michigan affirmative action cases and several cases challenging gender quotas in college athletics. In fact, it was these issues — specifically my frustration with the triumph in the courts of political correctness over sound legal arguments — that motivated me to work on putting more constitutionalist judges on the federal bench. So, while my paper and the AEI panel are not directly connected with my work at the Committee for Justice, the judges and preferences issues are inexorably linked.
