LAWSUIT Continued from Page 1 said race is used as a factor in admissions to achieve diversity buit is just one oif many factors used in evaluating candidates. Other factors include residency, letters of recoin- nienidations, transcripts arid standard- I ed test scores. "1 know of no law school which has been able to dece-e anything like the racial diversity wc have here. As of today, no other cffort has been sue- cessfjil," Lehimian said. Close to home When tie hearinrg beginis tomorrow, miany studeiits plan to be in atten- dance as they try to persuade Duggani to niove the trial to Ann Arbor. Although the judge is set to announce wheii and where the trials will be held, the student irtervenors are concerned that the trial proceed- inigs may comiriince in Detroit at the beginning of Dcecmber, making it dif- ficult fIM stuidents to attend because of distance arnd final exams. Racklin student Jessica ('urtin said Duggani is sending a negative message to students if' he decides to hold the trials in Detroit. "Regard less of h1is stated inteitions, if .udge DIuggaii makes the trials when students can 't attend, lae implies lie has alr-eady niade a decision,", said 'urtini, one of' the inter'venors in the L aw School case. Shanta D~river, another intervenor in the Law School case, said it is impera- live fur students to attend. '.ludge Duggaii's decision is a very dangerouls decision and the University should take a str-ong stand against it. Access has virtually been denied to the students arid student access to these cases is essential," Driver said. Ina April. U.S. D~istrict Judge Ber- niar-d riedmnan held a pi-etrial hearing fur the L aw School case in Anni Arbor. Thie visitor's gallery filled to capacity arid Friedmni al lowved miore people to enter the courtr-oomi, seating them in the jur-y box. Barry said that while she would like to have the trials in Ann Arbor so they are more accessible to all menibers of' the University, there is rno way to anticipate what the judge will decide. . Student participation has been extremely irmportant. It has demniir- strated what these cases mieani, but we'r'e just going to have to wait for tlie judge's decision,," Barry said. Ready for action Barry said that whlenever Duggan dlecides the trial will be held, the Urii- versity will be ready. "We're ready to go to trial when- ever the judge says it will start," Barry saidl. "We el very con fiderit aboult the mricits of the ease legally and also as factual mtter'' While it has taken years foritie cases to get to court, Barry said shie thinks the cases will be decided quickly. Barry said that there have been other cases at other universities cial lenging the urse of race as a Iacetor in admiis- sioris but the eases at this University are (differ-enit because of defcnse tac- ties. One definiiig characteristic of- the University's (defense is the use of previously uniused eripirical cvi- dence and rceai-clistudfies. The Urii- vcrsity contends tlhey will be key to the defenise, whiIc (CI R lawyers have said they clutter the case arid skirt the constitutional qurestions at issuec in the case. "What 's unique arid imvportanit (about the case) is that the Univem-sity has chosen to defenid it so compi-elieii- sively," Barry said. The Law School case is scheduled to go to trial in January. If sunmriny Judgment is not gralnted to either side, the LSA case could go to trial as early as December.
