Luévano v. Campbell, 93 F.R.D. 68 (D.D.C. 1981), was a class action lawsuit brought by Angel G. Luévano and a group of civil rights attorneys on behalf of African Americans and Hispanics who had failed the Professional and Administrative Career Examination (PACE), a written test used by the Civil Service Commission to screen candidates for federal employment. The plaintiffs alleged that the exam had a disparate impact on minority applicants, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
