Professor Sander's study tests a simple, but startling, thesis: Affirmative action actually depresses the number of black lawyers, because many black students end up attending law schools that are too difficult for them, and perform badly

Unless they're going to Yale or Harvard, it's better to be in the top 20-30% of a 2nd-4th tier school than the bottom quarter of a 1st tier. The firms cull the top 30% or so, and government seems to look at top 30% too. They'll flunk out, or go work on the phone at Lexis Nexis or Westlaw.
