David Bernstein is a law professor at George Mason University, and one of the country's leading experts on affirmative action preferences in the law. He's also a contributor to The Volokh Conspiracy, one of the nation's top legal blogs. A graduate of Brandeis University and Yale Law School, Professor Bernstein has also taught at Columbia, Brooklyn Law School, the University of Michigan, and Georgetown University. He is a regular speaker at law school across the country and a frequent guest on CNN, Fox news, and MSNBC. In addition to this, he has found time to publish five books and nearly a hundred law review articles.

At ASL, Professor Bernstein will discuss the recent Supreme Court decision in Fisher vs. University of Texas, and what that decision means for racial preferences in university admissions. He will also discuss the upcoming Supreme Court hearing in Schuette vs. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, a case that began in Michigan and should be decided within the next few months. ASL's own Professor Dale Rubin will offer commentary and his own view on the aforementioned cases, as well as their implications for policymakers and administrators in higher education.
