Transcript of Gruttter v. Bollinger
trial in Federal District Court
(plaintext format)
What follows is the full transcript of the 15-day Grutter v. Bollinger
trial. Taken in its entirety, the transcript reveals the breadth and
depth of
the defense of affirmative action at the University of Michigan Law
School launched by the intervening student defendants in this historic
trial.
The student defendants presented the strongest, most legally and
sociologically comprehensive defense of affirmative action ever
in the
history of affirmative action litigation. Our groundbreaking case was not
only the most rigorous legal defense ever made of affirmative action, it
was also the broadest, most comprehensive exposition of race and racism
ever put forward in an American court. We put racism and social inequality
on trial.
