The justices of the Supreme Court of the United States: Back
row: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Souter, Clarence Thomas and Stephen
Breyer. Front row: Antonin Scalia, John Paul Stevens, Chief Justice
William Rehnquist, Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy. U-M
officials applauded the court's decision, particularly the 5-4 ruling
in favor of the Law School's admissions process. O'Connor wrote
the majority opinion in that case and was joined by Stevens, Souter,
Ginsburg and Breyer. (Photo courtesy Supreme Court of the United
