California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Coral Constr. Inc v. City And County Of San Francisco, 113 Cal.Rptr.3d 279, 235 P.3d 947, 50 Cal.4th 315 (Cal. 2010):

11. The high court in Grutter v. Bollinger, supra, 539 U.S. 306, 337, 123 S.Ct. 2325, rejected an equal protection challenge to a law school admissions policy that used race, without preferential quotas, as one factor in a highly individualized, holistic review of each applicant's file.... In its decision, the court noted that states can and should draw on the most promising aspects of ... race-neutral alternatives as they develop in states such as California ..., where racial preferences in admissions are prohibited by state law [e.g., section 31].... ( Id., at p. 342, 123 S.Ct. 2325.)
