The Cornell Clinic and the ALCU OK filed the amicus brief on behalf of Oklahoma City-based social justice organization Collegiate Freedom & Justice Coalition. The brief supports the Oklahoma State Conference of the NAACP in its lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of HB 1674. That court granted a preliminary injunction, delaying the effective date of HB 1674. The Tenth Circuit proceedings involve the State\u2019s appeal of that preliminary injunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
