Three UCLA School of Law faculty members have landed in the upper reaches of a new set of rankings that track tax law professors by their scholarly impact.
As the 2022-23 academic year kicks off, UCLA Law is thrilled to have four new scholars join its faculty.
“UCLA Law has long-hand a vibrant intellectual community with professors dedicated to teaching our students, conducting cutting edge research, and taking seriously our role as a public university” Interim Dean Russell Korobkin explained. “I’m thrilled that our four newest colleagues will help us carry on that tradition.”
A member of UCLA School of Law’s faculty for more than two decades, Russell Korobkin is the Richard C. Maxwell Distinguished Professor of Law, and he has served as vice dean for the last seven years. With the departure of Dean Jennifer L. Mnookin – who will become the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison next month – Korobkin answered a new call to service at the law school that has been his home since 2001.
