  • The fall 2024 enrollment at Harvard Law School sees only 19 Black first-year students, the lowest figure since the 1960s, comprising 3.4% of the class.
  • This represents a nearly 60% decrease from last year’s total of 43 Black students, reflecting a broader trend affecting top-tier law schools.
  • The impact of the Supreme Court's decision to ban affirmative action is evident, fundamentally changing how schools approach diversity.

  • The decline raises important questions about access and representation in the legal field, posing challenges for future generations of lawyers.
