DeFunis--What Now?
Wilson, James B.
Journal of College and University Law, 2, 1, 83-97, F 74
The DeFunis case regarding reverse discrimination in law school admissions, won in the state trial court, reversed by the State Supreme Court, then rejected in 1974 in the U.S. Supreme Court as a "moot" case (DeFunis had already graduated), is reviewed. An outline of the appeal argument is included along with discussion of the unresolved issues. (JT)
