UC Berkeley Law has once again had a banner hiring year, adding seven new professors across a wide range of fields and disciplines to an already stellar faculty. The seven new hires include four senior scholars — Professors Brian Galle, Joy Milligan Ph.D. ’18, Bertrall Ross, and Kevin Washburn — and Associate Professor Ryan Sakoda, Assistant Professor Jason Ferguson, and Clinical Professor Alina Ball. They’re the latest in a transformative wave of hiring since Dean Erwin Chemerinsky arrived in 2017. “We had a spectacular year in faculty hiring. We’ve added terrific faculty in many different fields who will be great classroom teachers as well as influential scholars,” Chemerinsky says. “We are tremendously fortunate to have them join us.” Learn more about these outstanding new additions to the UC Berkeley Law faculty (link in bio). Join us in welcoming our new faculty! #UCBerkeleyLaw #LawProfessors #BerkeleyLawLeads Illustrations: @ivancanuillustrator
