The Court found that the "law school for Negroes," which was to have opened in 1947, would have been grossly unequal to the University of Texas Law School. The Court argued that the separate school would be inferior in a number of areas, including faculty, course variety, library facilities, legal writing opportunities, and overall prestige. The Court also found that the mere separation from the majority of law students harmed students' abilities to compete in the legal arena.</p> http://www.oyez.org/cases/1940-1949/1949/1949_44/ <p>Did the search violate the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement?</p><p>The Fourth Amendment permits a warrantless search incident to a lawful arrest.
