Under the School District's "Open Choice" plan, students could chose which high school they preferred regardless of where they lived, provided there was space available. A number of Seattle high schools had more applicants than space available. Therefore, the School District used "tiebreakers" to determine which students were to be admitted to the most sought after schools. One of the tiebreakers the School District used was the racial classification of the student. In 2006 the United States Supreme Court granted an appeal from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in favor of the School District. On December 4, 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument. An opinion will be issued by the U.S. Supreme Court before it recesses at the end of June. Many consider this case to be the most closely watched of the Term. =0D=0A=0D=0ARegistration Details: =0D=0A$25.00 (includes hors d'oeuvres and hosted bar) *CLE Credits Pending Please RSVP to Andrew Cook at 206.553.9511 or andyc@biaw.com =0D=0A=0D=0A
