EEOC Allows Unexpected Discrimination Lawsuit Against King & Spalding

Shortly after the Blum + Co. lawsuits that strong-armed firms like Gibson Dunn and Morrison Foerster to change the wording of their diversity scholarships, waves of firms followed suit to avoid getting sued under Section 1981 of the 1866 Civil Rights Act. After the initial fray, Blum said the mission was accomplished and didn’t plan on any more anti-diversity suits.
