Law schools urged to ask applicants to document Indian status
Wednesday, August 10, 2011
The
American Bar Association
wants law school applicants to show they are actually American Indian or Alaska Native.
The ABA's House of Delegates passed a
resolution
that urges the
Law School Admissions Council
, which administers the LSAT, and ABA-law schools to require applicants to provide documentation of their Indian status. That would mean a tribal enrollment number or some form of statement of tribal heritage.
The
National Native American Bar Association
pushed for the resolution.
