UCLA School of Law’s Veterans Legal Clinic and Criminal Justice Program partnered with the Oakland-based community organization Root & Rebound to hold a ticket-clearing clinic at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs West Los Angeles campus on Sept. 27, providing pro bono legal services for veterans.

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.

People incarcerated in U.S. prisons tested positive for COVID-19 at a rate 5.5 times higher than the general public, according to a new paper co-authored by the UCLA COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project and researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

The UCLA Law COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project, in collaboration with the Bronx Defenders, Columbia Law School’s Center for Institutional and Social Change and Zealous, has launched a new electronic database of COVID-19-related materials designed to help lawyers, advocates, researchers, journalists and others interested in challenging, remedying, or drawing attention to the grave risk that COVID-19 poses to individuals who are detained.

Professor Joanna Schwartz has been a leading scholar in the field of police accountability for more than a decade. Her work has been cited widely, including by the U.S. Supreme Court.
