Dean Johnson Writes for The Bencher About Diversity in Legal Education

Dean Kevin R. Johnson explored the future of diversity in legal education in a column written for the March/April 2023 edition of the American Inns of Court publication The Bencher.

“As the pandemic shows nascent signs of subsiding, law schools still face roughly the same challenges that existed before the shutdown of U.S. society in 2020,” Johnson wrote. “One of the most formidable challenges no doubt will continue to be legal education’s pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

Kevin R. Johnson is the law school’s dean, Mabie-Apallas Professor of Public Interest Law and professor of Chicana/o studies at UC Davis. He is an internationally recognized scholar in the fields of immigration law and policy, refugee law, and civil rights.
