UCLA School of Law is pleased to welcome Alejandro Camacho, a renowned regulatory scholar, as a professor of law.

Camacho will be a core faculty member of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and a faculty affiliate of UCLA’s Chicano Studies Research Center. He comes from UC Irvine School of Law, where he was Chancellor’s Professor of Law and faculty director of the Center for Land, Environment, and Natural Resources.

Jamelia Morgan, an acclaimed scholar and teacher who focuses on issues at the intersections of race, gender, disability, and criminal law and punishment, has joined the UCLA School of Law faculty as a professor of law.

California has abundant energy that can be supplied to everyone – if it better distributes its energy infrastructure spending for maximum public benefit. This report identifies one critical opportunity that has been hiding in plain sight.

The state spends billions on running two parallel energy systems, gas and electric, when it ultimately only needs one – an expanded, modern, and efficient power grid. Shifting that spending over time to create a single power delivery system unlocks state-wide savings while lowering costs for renters and homeowners.

Members of the UCLA School of Law community are mourning the loss of longtime professor Stephen Munzer, who died on Nov. 30 at age 81 after a brief illness.

Munzer was a distinguished research professor and authority in law and philosophy who joined the law school’s faculty in 1982 and retired in 2014 – but hardly stopped writing, teaching, conducting research, and connecting with his colleagues. Many people among his family, coworkers, and former students have used the same word to describe him: “gentleman.”
