Powell v. Ridge

Update

The Law Center Appeals

The Law Center appealed the decision to dismiss, and the case went before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The Third Circuit overturned the District Court’s decision, ruling that the plaintiffs’ case should proceed to trial, and that the law provided the right to bring suit under disparate impact claims.
