U. Serve L.A.


UCLA Law’s Public Interest Celebration, Auction & Awards.

U. Serve L.A. is UCLA Law's annual celebration of all things public interest and pro bono, featuring awards for outstanding public interest and pro bono contributions from the UCLA Law student, alumni, faculty, and staff community. Proceeds from U. Serve L.A. support public interest and pro bono initiatives that enable UCLA Law students to support the needs of underserved communities and make lasting changes in Los Angeles and beyond.

We look forward to celebrating on April 13, 2025 our newest U. Serve L.A. award recipients. We are excited to welcome back many alumni of the Epstein Program and honor members of the UCLA Law public interest and pro bono community.
