Dean Alena Allen to present to Baton Rouge Bar Association | |
|
Just days before LSU Dean Alena Allen began her tenure at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center on July 1, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard College, overturning 45 years of legal precedent.
Allen will discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in her presentation titled “The Impact of SFFA v. UNC and SFFA v. Harvard College on Legal Education” at the Baton Rouge Bar Association's monthly luncheon. She will review how the legal landscape has shifted with respect to admissions in higher education as well as discuss opportunities for innovation and implications for the future, particularly as it relates to legal education and the legal profession.
