REHABILITATION -- Bill Hing, professor of law and Asian American studies at UC Davis, is a member of the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice, studying, in part, the extent to which failures in the administration of criminal justice have resulted in wrongful executions. Hing teaches Judicial Process, a course on criminal justice and how the system operates.
