David Kaye
Prof. Kaye recently convened a two-day workshop that drew 30 diplomats, activists and academics from across the globe to Orange County to tackle the weighty issue of international justice. Specifically, Prof. Kaye brought the group together to discuss concrete ways to improve United Nations Security Council support of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Kaye launched this effort a year ago while at UCLA School of Law, collaborating with Humanity United and UCLA's Burkle Center for International Relations. Students in his International Justice Clinic at UCLA interviewed diplomats and activists in New York and other countries. The intense discussion and debate at the workshop culminated the research; now Kaye and his collaborators will compile a report and recommendations to present to the United Nations in the spring. Students in Kaye's new International Justice Clinic here at UCI Law will assist in this final phase. Read more about the project in this feature.
Andrea Smith
Class of 2013
This 3L has been chosen for the prestigious Skadden Fellowship, allowing her to spend two years working with Disability Rights Legal Center to enforce the legal rights to education of homeless youth with disabilities in Los Angeles County. Beginning in Fall 2013, Smith will develop advocacy materials specifically for homeless youth with disabilities, represent them in enforcing their rights, and participate in policy advocacy at state and federal levels. Smith is one of 29 graduating law students and judicial clerks named 2013 Skadden Fellows. "I hope to live up to the high standards set by UC Irvine School of Law by fighting to ensure that those who are most marginalized in society get the educational and legal services to which they are entitled," Smith said of her award.
