• In a message to students, Dean L. Song Richardson and Vice Dean Christopher Whytock at UCI Law announced the school’s plans for fall 2020 instruction. Although there is a possibility that first-year students will be able to take one or two of their fall courses with an in-person component, the public health situation means that class sessions will otherwise be online. To support the highest quality online courses, UCI Law's Teaching and Learning Committee (the Committee) has created a robust summer workshop series titled, “Designing and Delivering Effective Online Courses,” that is serving as a model to law schools across the nation. The series is providing critical instruction and structure for the redevelopment of UCI Law faculty members’ courses based on research-backed best practices – including pertaining to equity and inclusion – for online instruction.

  • The UCI Law Innocence Rights of Orange County Pro Bono project has successfully aided in overturning 11 consecutive life sentences for two wrongfully convicted individuals -- Juan Rayford and Dupree Glass. Annee Della Donna, a trial litigator and founder of the Law Offices of Annee Della Donna, has been running the pro bono project for five years. This month, the Second District Appellate Court granted the Writs of Habeas Corpus for Rayford and Glass, who were sentenced as teenagers to 11 consecutive life sentences for a shooting in which no one was seriously injured. The reversal by the Appellate Court was due to the case that Della Donna and UCI Law students brought forward in collaboration with Innocence Rights of Orange County, Della Donna’s pro bono legal advocacy organization. Since Spring 2015, 34 UCI Law students have worked on the pro bono project.

  • “If we want this moment to be different, then it is up to us as a community to make it so. I challenge all of us, including me, to do better. As your dean, my commitment to our community is to make the law school welcoming, inclusive, and safe—a place where everyone can flourish. “What I also know is that we must commit to action and not simply platitudes. And for us at UCI Law, change not only begins with asking how we can do better to fight against Anti-Blackness and racism, in all of its manifestations, here, but also asking how we can use our voices, our power, and our influence to make changes in the profession and society. The two are not mutually exclusive, but the former is a prerequisite.” – Dean L. Song Richardson. Read Dean Richardson’s full statement on our website (link in bio).
