Lesley McAllister Scholarship to Support King Hall Environmental Law Students

With leadership gifts from Professor of Environmental Practice Richard Frank ’74 and Professor Albert Lin, UC Davis School of Law has established the Lesley McAllister Scholarship Fund to honor the memory of the late Professor McAllister and support King Hall environmental law students.

Professor Lesley McAllister, a distinguished scholar and educator in the fields of environmental, natural resources, and energy law and an advocate for the rights of the terminally ill, died on August 30, 2017 following a long and courageous battle with cancer. Professor McAllister was admired for her fierce and incisive intellect, unwavering integrity, and formidable work ethic. A widely respected academic devoted to the public good, she focused her research on the role of law and regulation — in the U.S. and other countries across the world — in addressing climate change and other environmental problems.

Recipients of the Lesley McAllister Scholarship will be second- or third-year King Hall students with a demonstrated interest and engagement in environmental law and/or policy. Gifts to support the scholarship may be made online at the Lesley McAllister Scholarship Fund webpage.
