GABRIEL “JACK” CHINIRENE ORITSEWEYINMI JOE AARON TANG MARY LOUISE FRAMPTON

For more than 50 years, UC Davis School of Law has

been known for excellence in teaching, outstanding

legal scholarship, and a commitment to the ideals of

social justice espoused by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

for whom our law school building is named. Our King

Hall community is dedicated to serving the greater

good through community service, law reform, and

training the next generation of attorneys, judges, and

leaders. Nowhere is this commitment more evident

than in the outstanding work of our faculty—the only

“majority-minority”

faculty of any

leading American

law school.

Widely regarded as

being among the

finest legal minds

in the United

States, our faculty

publish prolifically

in leading national

and international reviews and journals; their books,

casebooks, and treatises are read worldwide. Their

scholarship addresses the most complex legal, social,

and economic problems of our time, and they are

frequently sought out by national and international

media for commentary and insight on current events

and contemporary issues. They are passionately

committed to our students, who are among the most

gifted and diverse of any law school.

Message from the Dean

Ours is the only law school among the top 30 in U.S. News & World Report ’s rankings to have a majority-minority faculty.

Kevin R. JohnsonDean and Mabie-

Apallas Professor of

Public Interest Law

and Chicana/o Studies

Our faculty is also the most diverse of any top-tier law

school in the nation. About half are female and 56 percent

are members of ethnic minority groups. Ours is the only

law school among the top 30 in U.S. News & World

Report’s rankings to have a majority-minority faculty.

Indeed, except for law schools affiliated with historically

black institutions, or those in Puerto Rico, we are not

aware of any other American law school with a majority-

minority faculty.

Recently, the recruitment of outstanding additions to our

corps of scholar-educators has bolstered our tradition of

excellence and diversity. Joining us this year will be Irene

Oritseweyinmi Joe, until recently a Visiting Assistant

Professor and Binder Teaching Fellow at UCLA School of

Law, and Aaron Tang, previously an attorney at Jones Day

in Washington, D.C. and a former clerk for both Associate

Justice Sonia Sotomayor of the U.S. Supreme Court and

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III on the U.S. Court of Appeals

for the Fourth Circuit. Also joining us will be Mary Louise

Frampton, most recently Faculty Director of the Thelton

E. Henderson Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley

School of Law. We also congratulate Professor Gabriel

“Jack” Chin on his appointment as our new Edward L.

Barrett Endowed Chair of Law.

As UC Davis School of Law has risen to the highest

echelons in legal education, the faculty has led the way.

The latest additions fit well into that grand tradition of

scholars, teachers, and public servants that has defined

King Hall for more than five decades.

Mary Louise Frampton joins King Hall as the Director of

the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies in

January 2017. She teaches in the areas of restorative justice,

structural inequality, law and social justice, legislative

advocacy, and professional responsibility. She has co-taught

courses on critical race theory and participatory action

research in low-income communities in the Central Valley.

Professor Frampton led the Thelton E. Henderson Center

for Social Justice at Berkeley Law for more than a decade.

She was a UC Berkeley Chancellor’s Public Scholar and

an Association of American Law Schools (AALS) National

Bellow Fellow.

Frampton’s research interests are focused on the use of

restorative justice as a tool to dismantle the school to prison

pipeline, reduce the over-incarceration of people of color in

the criminal justice system, and heal divided communities.

She is engaged in research projects in juvenile justice

systems and schools in the Central Valley and in the

community of Greensboro, North Carolina. She was a co-

founder of the Community-University Research and Action

for Justice, a collaborative effort of UC academics and

community activists in the San Joaquin Valley to alleviate

poverty. Her publications include After the War on Crime:

Race, Democracy, and a New Reconstruction (NYU Press).

For 30 years before joining Berkeley Law in 2001,

Frampton was a civil rights attorney focusing on

employment discrimination.

Professor Gabriel “Jack” Chin has been appointed as the

Edward L. Barrett Endowed Chair of Law at UC Davis

School of Law.

Chin is a teacher and scholar of Immigration Law, Criminal

Procedure, and Race and Law. His scholarship has appeared

in the Penn, UCLA, Cornell, and Harvard Civil Rights-Civil

Liberties law reviews and the Duke and Georgetown law

journals among others. The U.S. Supreme Court cited his

work on collateral consequences of criminal conviction

in Chaidez v. United States, in which the Court called his

Cornell Law Review article “the principal scholarly article

on the subject” and in Padilla v. Kentucky, which agreed

with his contention that the Sixth Amendment required

defense counsel to advise clients about potential deportation

consequences of guilty pleas. Recently, Chin was cited in

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion

in Utah v. Strieff, a case concerning Fourth Amendment

rights and police searches.

Chin won honors for his leadership of the successful

petitioning of the California Supreme Court on behalf of

Hong Yen Chang, who was denied a license to practice law

in California more than a century ago as a result of laws

that discriminated against Chinese immigrants. The Court

posthumously granted a law license to Chang in March

2015.

Chin earned a B.A. at Wesleyan, a J.D. from Michigan and an

LL.M. from Yale. He clerked for U.S. District Judge Richard

P. Matsch in Denver and practiced with Skadden, Arps, Slate,

Meagher & Flom and The Legal Aid Society of New York.

He taught at the Arizona, Cincinnati, NYU and Western New

England law schools before joining the UC Davis faculty.

Chin is a member of the American Law Institute.
