Our Litigators of the Week are Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr’s Seth Waxman, William Lee and Felicia Ellsworth for their front-page win defending Harvard University’s race-conscious admissions system.

The Ivy League school was sued by Students for Fair Admissions Inc. and its chief Edward Blum. Represented by Consovoy McCarthy and Bartlit Beck, they alleged Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by limiting the number of Asian American applicants accepted.
