This could have really big implications for URM admissions to law schools; a lot of conventional wisdom would get upturned.

I feel schools would figure out a way to keep classes diverse; I doubt any of the top schools would want to be the school were URM student percentages suddenly plummet to single digits.

Before we over turn affirmative action, let's overturn educational, economic and racial inequities - then there will be no need :)
