A coalition of 21 state attorneys general is demanding that the Council of the American Bar Association end its advocacy for race-based accreditation.

Led by Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, a Republican, the GOP attorneys general noted in a letter to the ABA Council, the organization that serves as the accrediting body for U.S. law schools, that a current rule requires law schools to consider race in admissions and employment. The attorneys general are demanding the ABA align with the Supreme Court’s ruling ending affirmative action and race-based admissions practices at schools.
