Celebrating King Hall 2022-2023

2022 Celebrating King Hall 

In March 2022, UC Davis Law honored the achievements of faculty, alumni and students at its first in-person “Celebrating King Hall” event in three years. 

The gathering drew more than 100 people to recognize 2022 Distinguished Teaching Award recipient Karrigan Börk, 2022 Distinguished Alumnus Award recipient Yeoryios Apallas ’72 and Rising Star Alumna award winner Austin Quinn-Davidson ’07.  

Dean Kevin R. Johnson served as the evening’s emcee. Professor Peter Lee, a past Distinguished Teaching Award recipient, introduced his colleague, Börk. Student speaker Nicole Opendo ’23 discussed the importance of scholarships. 

2023 Celebrating King Hall 

The community gathered again in March 2023 to recognize the 2023 Distinguished Teaching Award recipient, Professor Courtney Joslin, along with Distinguished Alumna Award winner Justice Kelli Evans ’94, and Rising Star Alumna Award winner Rachel Ray ’11. 

Professor Katherine Florey, a previous Distinguished Teaching Award recipient, introduced Joslin, and scholarship recipient Ethan Hicks ’24 spoke about his journey to King Hall and success as a law student. 

Dean Kevin R. Johnson once again served as emcee, pointing out that Ray, a managing attorney for the UC Immigrant Legal Services Center, and her husband, Errol C. Dauis ‘11, had made history as the first couple to both receive Rising Star awards. (Dauis won in 2021).
