“People lie about everything—their status, their levels of talent, etc. When you come to grips with who you really are, you can build your truth. Through my writing, I want to inspire people to be who they truly are.”
Powerful and profound words from Karen Hunter, co-author of the new novel Balancing Act, with Jonathan Plummer (as probably everyone on the planet knows by now is the ex-husband of the legendary Terry McMillan). Ms. Hunter is a Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author. She has collaborated with celebrities and personalities including Queen Latifah, L L Cool J, Wendy Williams, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Cedric the Entertainer. In October, Hunter partnered with Pocket Books (a division of Simon and Schuster) to launch her own imprint, Karen Hunter Publishing.

In 2004, UCLA Law Professor Richard Sander published a controversial article in the Stanford Law Review arguing that an end to affirmative action would benefit minority students. His article claimed to empirically demonstrate that affirmative action in law schools hurts Black students because it results in Black students attending schools where they are in no position to compete academically (the “mismatch theory”). Sander and his research team now seek confidential applicant data from the State Bar of California to gain further support for the mismatch theory.
Sander and his team seek Bar applicant data “consist[ing] of LSAT scores, race, gender, law school attended, repeater status, and bar exam scores of all those taking the bar exam for the first time between from 1997 to 2003” as well as background data on black and Latino law students from 2004 and 2005.
