The Legal Show: Racial Segregation in 2014 – a Private or Public Matter

Attorney Sarah Steele and writer Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day. 

The audience should know that although Ms. Steele is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require.

This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.

Tonight we discuss the topic of the rights of private clubs and their ability to limit their members.  Recently, the University of Alabama student senate killed a resolution supporting racial integration of fraternities and sororities on campus.  This is despite the fact several black women were offered sorority bids this past fall and a historically Jewish sorority elected its first black president.   Tune in as Sarah and Bennet discuss the legal quagmire surrounding a private club’s ability to discriminate based upon any criteria it chooses.
