New Faculty Join Law School
UC Davis School of Law welcomes three new faculty members for fall 2006 - Lisa Ikemoto '87, Peter Lee, and Holly Cooper '98. In addition, Keith Aoki, the Philip H. Knight Professor of Law at the University of Oregon, will be a visiting professor for the academic year. These scholars are an exciting addition to the faculty and point to the school?s commitment to scholarly excellence and intellectual vitality.
Lisa Ikemoto's scholarship and community work focus on race and gender issues in bioethics and health care. She has written extensively on genetic and assisted reproductive technology use, reproductive justice, and health care disparities issues. Her interest in bioethics and in the ways that race and gender mediate access to and impacts of technology use date back to her days as a UC Davis law student. She now teaches the course, Bioethics and the Law, which triggered her scholarship interests.
Peter Lee was a law clerk for Judge Barry G. Silverman, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Phoenix, AZ, after receiving his J.D. from Yale Law School in 2005. He was an intern with the World Health Organization in Geneva, the United Nations Development Program in New Delhi, and the Korean Delegation to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris. His special interests include bioethics, intellectual property, patent law, and property.
Holly Cooper is a lecturer and Immigration Clinic supervising attorney. Prior to returning to Davis, Cooper was an adjunct professor at Arizona State University, School of Law and a senior staff attorney at the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project in Arizona. She recently co-authored, Quick Reference Chart and Annotations for Determining Immigration Consequences of Selected Arizona Offenses, a 200-page document, which dissects each of the Arizona penal code provisions and advises criminal lawyers of the potential immigration consequences for each crime. Cooper's special interests include immigration law and detained immigrants' rights.
Keith Aoki is the Philip H. Knight Professor of Law at the University of Oregon, where he has taught since 1993 and specializes in the area of intellectual property. He has published law review articles in the Stanford, California, Iowa, and Boston College law reviews and is author of the forthcoming book, Seed Wars: Cases and Materials on Intellectual Property and Plant Genetic Resources. He is interested in the intersection of critical theory and the law and has taught trademark law, copyrights, intellectual property, cyberlaw, and property law. In addition, Aoki received, with Davis Professors of Law Anupam Chander and Madhavi Sunder, a $50,000 grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program (CCLPEP) to produce an action hero comic book on Fred Korematsu, a civil rights legend and Presidential Medal of Freedom winner. Aoki is a longtime cartoonist.
