The UC Davis School of Law will host its fifth annual MLK Day of Service and Celebration on Monday, Jan. 15, to honor Martin Luther King Jr., the namesake of the law school’s King Hall, on his holiday.

I am excited to announce UC Davis Law Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies Co-Director Raquel Aldana and I will lead a new groundbreaking book series that will be published by the University of California Press. 

This Wednesday marked the start of the Association of American Law Schools 2024 conference. This year's theme is “Defending Democracy” and several King Hall faculty are participating.

Don't miss these upcoming events at the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies.

Bill Mantle '74 sent me a great picture of waves crashing against the sandy beach in Santa Barbara.

Luis Alejo '01, Chair of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, sent a virtual card to wish everyone a happy holiday season.

UC Davis Law will kick off the new year with a compelling presentation, "The Spectrum of Race for Social Justice," for our Racial Justice Speaker Series. Register today for this event with Nicole Santamaría, Executive Director of El/La Para TransLatinas.
