[QUOTE="froginaustin, post: 2854048, member: 785"] Sweatt v. Painter, decided in the late '40's. One direct result was the lege founding a law school at Texas Southern University, the "separate but equal" law school. UTx may have had the only public law school in Texas before TSU's came on line. Another story that sounds like urban legend but I assume is not, because it was told to a group of law students at a Scholtz Garten happy hour by the late, great Prof. Charles Alan Wright, was that new law student Heman Sweatt (yup, that's how his name is spelled -- it's now blazoned on the main Travis County Courthouse) likely received the best education that any UTx law student ever enjoyed. Mr. Sweatt was admitted to law school, but not allowed in class on campus. How that was pulled off, I have no idea. So class came to Mr. Sweatt. One-on-one tutoring, off campus, by UTx law faculty. Prof. Wright was definitely capable of pulling law students' legs, to use an old expression. But he told this story with a serious, straight face. [/QUOTE]
