Adams and Reese has ended its 1L minority fellowship, according to a Thursday letter from the firm. The news comes after a Monday letter from conservative legal activist Edward Blum and his nonprofit, the American Alliance for Equal Rights, that threatened to sue Adams and Reese if it went forward with a fellowship the AAER considered to be discriminatory.

The AAER also threatened Winston & Strawn and Hunton Andrews Kurth with similar letters regarding diversity fellowships they offer through the LCLD 1L Scholars Program. Blum’s group dropped lawsuits against Perkins Coie and Morrison & Foerster recently after those law firms altered the criteria of their diversity fellowships to become race-neutral.
