Please join us for an Affinity Club social at the Heidelberg! This is a great opportunity to engage with other affinity clubs at Mizzou Law, in addition to learning more about ACS and our mission. Appetizers and snacks will be provided; all are welcome!

Please join the ACS Washington, DC Lawyer Chapter in welcoming Justin Driver, who will discuss his new book The Fall of Affirmative Action: Race, the Supreme Court, and the Future of Higher Education. The Fall of Affirmative Action provides a blueprint for the future—a rallying cry for citizens to forge new paths to inclusion and push back against the notion that racial equality is doomed. The death of affirmative action, Driver insists, need not mean the death of opportunity.
