Welcome to the first edition of Updates@UCLaw.  Not a replacement for Counselor, the law school’s long-time, bi-yearly magazine, Updates@UCLaw provides us with a forum to communicate with you on a monthly basis. Look for profiles on new law school faculty, live vicariously through our students as you read about their incredible experiences around the world, and discover some interesting facts about UC Law.
