UCLA School of Law Professor Noah Zatz and scholars at the UCLA Labor Center have published a groundbreaking report on Los Angeles County’s broken system of court-ordered community service.

UCLA School of Law graduates who go into public interest law will receive greater financial assistance as the school enhances its Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP), starting in January. Through LRAP, UCLA Law has in the past decade covered roughly $4.5 million in student loan payments for J.D. graduates who work in public interest jobs, government positions or judicial clerkships.

Kerry O’Neill, UCLA School of Law’s director of judicial clerkships, was appointed to the newly formed Los Angeles Police Commission Advisory Committee on Building Trust and Equity on July 30.
