Orange County Coalition for Diversity in Law recognized Desirae Hutchison, UCI Law ’14, Estuardo R. Ponciano, Executive Director of Community Programs at UCI Law, and Reza Torkzadeh, UCI Law Dean’s Circle Chair and Founder of TorkLaw.

UCI Law rising third-year CJC clinical students Hanna Bayer, Elleasse Taylor, Kenneth Armstrong and alum Emily Yu ’22 interviewed the clients and their families, reviewed prison records, created a release plan and wrote the federal court motion requesting compassionate release of identical twin brothers, Derrell and Terrell Gaulden.

The project will monitor and advocate for action to address Afghanistan’s grave and deteriorating human rights situation. Hashmat Nadirpor — lawyer and rule of law expert from Afghanistan — will lead the project under the direction of Clinical Professor of Law and IJC Clinic Director David Kaye.

The focus on experiential learning at UCI Law was invaluable to my preparation for my work as a Deputy Attorney General with the California Department of Justice. Interviewing real clients through the 1L interview program, learning from experienced practitioners in negotiation, civil rights, and trial advocacy courses, and representing clients through the 3L clinical program provided me critical legal skills essential to my practice today.  

I really enjoy working on cases involving cutting-edge civil rights issues. Working with fellow UCI Law grad, Francisco Balderrama, '13 is a pretty good perk too.

The best part about being a student at UCI Law was getting to actively participate in the building the school – developing programs, starting organizations, and making lasting traditions.

I have been a part of the Law Alumni Association since graduation and I participate in various mentorship programs.
