UCLA Law Celebrates 20th Anniversary of the Green Lecture
Anna Park, Barry Cappello, Mark Green, Stephen Yeazell, Rachel F. Moran and Brad Baker
Four distinguished alumni trial lawyers who previously delivered the Irving H. Green Memorial Lecture returned to campus in November 2014 to serve as this year’s Green lecturers. Participating in a panel discussion, they each shared stories from their careers, discussed changes in the profession and answered questions from students about their chosen career paths. The panelists included Brad Baker ’75, a veteran estate planning attorney and partner at Baker, Burton & Lundy, P.C.; Harland Braun ’67, a premier Los Angeles criminal defense attorney and principal of the Law Office of Harland W. Braun; Barry Cappello ’65, one of the nation’s leading trial lawyers and authorities on complex commercial litigation and the managing partner of Cappello & Nöel LLP; and Anna Park ’92, a prominent civil rights litigator and the regional attorney for the Los Angeles Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Stephen Yeazell, David G. Price and Dallas P. Price distinguished professor of law emeritus, moderated the discussion.
UCLA Law Hosts “Whither the Court?” In September 2014, UCLA Law hosted “Whither the Court: the Allan C. Lebow Annual Supreme Court Review.” The program focused on a review of the court’s prior term and a preview of what the current term might hold. The panelists provided an analysis of the decisions in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., McCullen v. Coakley, Harris v. Quinn, Town of Greece v. Galloway, McCutcheon v. Federal Election Committee and Riley v. California, and discussed the implications of these decisions for lawyers, academics and citizens. The participants included UCLA School of Law Professors Devon Carbado, Doug NeJaime and Eugene Volokh, as well as Sue Dunlap, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. The discussion was moderated by UCLA Law Professor Adam Winkler, and Laurence H. Tribe, Carl M. Loeb university professor at Harvard Law School, delivered the closing keynote address.
