Recently, the recruitment of three

outstanding additions to this corps of

scholar-educators has bolstered our

tradition of excellence and diversity.

Joining us this year will be Shayak

research focuses on law and economics,

financial regulation, employment law,

and immigration. We are also pleased

to welcome Raquel Aldana, previously

the Associate Dean for Scholarship at

the University of the Pacific McGeorge

School of Law, as UC Davis Vice

Chancellor for Academic Diversity

and a Professor of Law. Joining us

as Director of our new Water Justice

of UC Berkeley School of Law who has

worked for the Center on Race, Poverty

& the Environment. In addition, we are

pleased to recognize Senior Associate

Dean for Academic Affairs Madhavi

Sunder, an influential scholar of law

and culture, intellectual property and

social justice, as the Daniel J. Dykstra

Chair of Law.

The UC Davis School of Law faculty

is committed, diverse, and incredibly

talented. We are thrilled to welcome

these new additions and look forward

to continuing the tradition of scholarly

and teaching excellence at King Hall.

U C D AV I S S C H O O L O F L AW FAC U LT Y

From its inception more than 50 years

ago, UC Davis School of Law has been

committed to scholarly and teaching

excellence, as well as the ideals of social

justice and equality espoused by Dr.

Martin Luther King, Jr., to whom the

law school building is dedicated. Our

King Hall community is committed to

diversity and to serving the greater good

through community service, law reform,

and training the next generation of

attorneys, judges, and leaders. Leading

the way forward is our outstanding

faculty—the only “majority-minority”

faculty of any top-tier American law

school.

The King Hall faculty publishes

prolifically in leading national and

international reviews and journals, and

their books, casebooks, and treatises

are read worldwide. Their scholarship

addresses the most complex legal,

social, and economic issues of our

time, and they frequently are called

upon by national and international

media seeking commentary and

insight regarding current events and

contemporary issues. They are widely

regarded as being among the finest

legal minds in the United States, and

passionately committed to our students,

who are among the most gifted and

diverse of any law school.
