Description

December 2014

The National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA), submits this brief as amicus curiae in support of Respondents, urging this Court to affirm the ruling of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upholding the recognition of disparate impact claims under the Fair Housing Act.1 NBLSA is a membership organization formed in 1968 to promote the educational, professional, political, and social objectives of Black law students. Today, NBLSA is the largest student-­run organization in the United States, with nearly 6,000 members, over 200 chapters in our nation's law schools, a growing pre-­law division, and six international chapters or affiliates. NBLSA has an interest in this case because it is dedicated to advancing racial equality and challenging all forms of segregation.
