Hopwood v. Texas ...Which Court Decided?
Did I miss it somewhere in the text? ...The court deciding this case is not defined. The implication from the recent 4/10/2006 "Did you Know?" link to this article was that it was the Supreme Court; the link mentioned 2 Supreme Court cases involving the UT Law School so one assumes the second case listed in the article ...Hopwood v. Texas... is that 2nd Supreme Court case. But an article about the "2003 Grutter Michigan" Supreme Court ruling that is mentioned in this article's description of Hopwood v. Texas said that 2003 case was the first such case decided since Bakke. Was this a Supreme Court or a lower court decision. The individual articles involved seem to make sense only if this was a lower court decision, but I don't see what court was involved in this article, nor as I remember, in the specific article for the Hopwood v. Texas case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloryroad (talk • contribs)


 * It was the 5th circuit court. I have fixed the DYK. &mdash; Scm83x hook 'em 16:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I just corrected the text of the article to reflect that Hopwood was not a U.S. Supreme Court case.--JRtx (talk) 06:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Emphasis?
Question: should this article really spend so much time on Sweatt and Hopwood? Wouldn't it be more reasonable for an encyclopedia article to cover other aspects of the law school -- e.g. more of its history, important deans, perhaps current facts such as its clinics, student organizations, etc.? It just seems like a weird balance of emphasis right now. --JRtx (talk) 06:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Alumni Parameters
Seems to me that the "Alumni" section should be changed to "Notable Alumni," and that the list should indeed be limited to include only genuinely notable individuals. Simply being elected to a judgeship or becoming the managing partner of a law firm (even a large one), is too low a threshold. The list could easily include thousands of names if the parameters are left so meaninglessly broad. azaner 19:13, 3 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Azaner (talk • contribs)

Request for Comments: List of University of Texas School of Law alumni
The current version of University of Texas School of Law includes a list of notable alumni that numbers 163 and is growing. The list by itself consumes almost half of the article. I request comments on a proposal to create a new page entitled "List of University of Texas School of Law alumni". — Archer1234 (talk) 17:19, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Go for it; I don't think an RfC is necessary. ElKevbo (talk) 20:26, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, I went WP:BOLD and created a new List of University of Texas School of Law alumni and move notable alumni from University of Texas School of Law to it. — Archer1234 (talk) 18:40, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
