Law Prof. Melvin Urofsky on Justice Louis Brandeis, the SCOTUS, & Dissenting Opinions

What is affirmative action? Why is it so controversial? And moreover, has there been progress?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Melvin I. Urofsky, an author and a professor emeritus of history at Virginia Commonwealth University, to discuss the history and ongoing controversy of affirmative action. Mel’s new book on the topic, The Affirmative Action Puzzle: A Living History from Reconstruction to Today, traces the evolution of affirmative action through the struggle for racial equality from the Civil Rights Act of 1866 through today’s tumultuous times.    In today’s episode, Aaron and Mel discuss the big questions surrounding affirmative action, its historical context, and its implications today, delving deep in to the ideas of diversity, “soft affirmative action” compared to “hard affirmative action,” inequality, cultural biases, and more. Throughout “The Affirmative Action Puzzle,” Mel writes about the affirmative action cases decided by the Supreme Court, cases that either upheld or struck down particular plans that affected both governmental and private entities. Aaron and Mel touch on this and the importance of the courts, specifically the recent lawsuit filed against Harvard University for its admissions process which is likely headed to the Supreme Court for decision.   Who benefits from affirmative action? Who suffers? What is the goal? And has it worked?   A graduate of Columbia, Mel is a professor emeritus of history at Virginia Commonwealth University and was the chair of its history department. He is co-editor of the five-volume collection of Louis Brandeis’s letters, as well as the author of Dissent and the Supreme Court and Louis D. Brandeis.
