UC Davis School of Law Honored with Assembly Resolution in Recognition of 50th Anniversary

The California Legislature recognized the 50th anniversary of UC Davis School of Law with a resolution during its session on August 27. Dean Kevin R. Johnson and Senior Associate Dean Madhavi Sunder were invited as special guests to accept the resolution on the Assembly floor.

The resolution praises the School of Law's 50 years of achievement. It is signed by three people with close ties to the Law School: Assemblymember Luis Alejo '01, Assemblymember James Gallagher ‘07, and Senator Lois Wolk, a longtime supporter of King Hall whose husband Bruce Wolk is a former Dean of the Law School.

Assemblymember Alejo presented the resolution to Deans Johnson and Sunder.

"I would not be standing where I am if it weren't for my professors and their support, and for that, I thank them. They include Cruz Reynoso, Kevin Johnson, and Amagda Pérez," said Alejo. "I commend University of California, Davis, School of Law for its 50th anniversary, its dedication to bettering the legal community and the community at large, and for the invaluable contributions made to the intellectual and social growth of its students."

In his remarks, Alejo also made reference to fellow King Hall alumni who previously served in the Legislature, including Darrell Steinberg ‘84, Dario Frommer ‘92, Charles Calderon ‘75, Pedro Nava '77, and Art Torres '71.
