Diversity Works and Diversity Matters

A multi-year empirical study presents evidence that a diverse law student body combined with intergroup contact makes a verifiable difference in law students’ exposure to a diversity of ideas and perspectives and decreases law students’ endorsement of racially prejudiced attitudes. An initial report of the study, The Educational Diversity Project: Analysis of Longitudinal and Concurrent Student and Faculty Data: LSAC Grants Report Series, can be found at: http://www.lsac.org/LSACResources/Research/GR/GR-10-01.pdf
