UCLA School of Law Dean Jennifer L. Mnookin has been elected to a three-year term on the board of trustees of the Law School Admission Council, the nonprofit organization that administers the Law School Admission Test and runs several initiatives to increase diversity in legal education and the legal profession.

Mnookin is UCLA Law’s Ralph and Shirley Shapiro Professor of Law. She joined the law school’s faculty in 2005 and has served as dean since 2015.

The coronavirus pandemic has created profound challenges for higher education and UCLA School of Law. As UCLA Law makes changes to ensure the safety of our community and create the best educational environment under the circumstances, we encourage students, faculty and staff to consult our policies and procedures.

Members of the UCLA Law community have responded to the legal issues raised by the evolving health, social and economic crisis with insight and impact.

In a June 2020 note to students, faculty and staff of UCLA School of Law, Dean Jennifer Mnookin wrote, “As members of a law school community… we must recognize and grapple with the complicity of the legal system and law enforcement in acts of racism and violence.”
