Law School Groups Back Hastings in High Court Fight With Christian Student Group

March 22, 2010

Law school organizations are lining up behind the University of California Hastings College of the Law in the upcoming Supreme Court argument pitting the school against the Christian Legal Society. The Association of American Law Schools and the Society of American Law Teachers have filed amicus briefs in the case, scheduled for argument on April 19. The dispute stems from the school's decision to deny the group funding and status as a registered student organization on the grounds that it excludes gays and lesbians.
