UCLA School of Law Professor from Practice Ahilan Arulanantham presented oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 8 in the case of FBI v. Fazaga.

Arulanantham is faculty co-director of the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at UCLA Law. Among the nation’s leading advocates for immigrants’ rights, he joined the law school in 2020 after a long tenure as senior counsel at the ACLU of Southern California, where he represented clients in several landmark immigration cases.

More than 200 members of the UCLA School of Law community gathered on Nov. 3 for the law school’s fourth U. Serve L.A. celebration, an event that this year also marked the conclusion of UCLA Law’s second Public Service Challenge. Students, staff, and faculty members joined in recognizing the community’s remarkable pro bono, public interest, and public service contributions.

With wins in five national trial advocacy competitions, UCLA School of Law’s A. Barry Cappello Trial Team recently completed its most successful fall season ever.

The squad, which has been ranked No. 1 in the country for the past two years, was the only one in the nation to prevail in more than one tournament, leading some to consider the team to have accomplished the most dominant fall season in the history of law school trial advocacy competitions.

UCLA School of Law Distinguished Professor Jerry Kang has been nominated to serve on the National Council on the Humanities, the 26-member board that advises the chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities and promotes the advancement of culture and scholarship nationwide.

President Biden announced the nomination of Kang and several others to the council on Oct. 29.
