Fall/Winter 2020 MAGAZINE USCFOR FRIENDS AND ALUMNI OF THE USC GOULD SCHOOLLaw OF LAW ISSUE 17 | FALL/WINTER 2020 RISING TO THE OCCASION In unprecedented moment, Gould community takes action dean’s message This past year has been filled with unprecedented challenges and changes. But in the face of difficulty, the members of the USC Gould School of Law – from alumni and students, to faculty and staff – have risen to the occasion. They have answered the call to help their clients, the community and, of course, one another, under extraordinary circumstances. I hope this magazine serves as a proud reminder of the strength and perseverance of our Gould Trojan Family. Among the stories in this special issue, we highlight the inspiring work — accomplished remotely — of our clinics and their students to help small businesses navigate new pandemic-related policies; help a brain cancer patient at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles reunite with his parents from Mexico; and help provide legal guidance to a nonprofit startup that distributes donated personal protective equipment to hospitals nationwide. In addition, we spotlight the role of Gould alumni in contributing to Keck Medicine of USC’s Care for the Caregiver program, which supports health care workers on the front lines. We are also excited to share news of two transformative student scholarship gifts, each topping $1 million. David Howard ( JD 1970) and his wife, Susan, established a new scholarship complementing the support provided through the C. David Molina First-Generation Professionals Program. The new Rosalie and Harold Rae Brown Scholarship includes funding toward merit scholarships for law student applicants, with positive consideration given to students who self-identify as African American. This magazine also covers the leadership and milestones of Gould alumni including: Ruth Lavine (LLB 1943), respected attorney and champion of women in law, who celebrates 100 years; Shannon Raj Singh ( JD 2011), who was named human rights counsel at Twitter; Dario Avila (LLM 2017), who is leading an effort to deliver 3D-printed face shields to health care workers in Ecuador’s capital; Karen Wong ( JD 1986), a pioneer in the renewable energy field, who was named chair of Gould’s Board of Councilors; and John Iino ( JD 1987), chief diversity officer at Reed Smith, who now serves as president of the USC Alumni Association Board of Governors. Also on display in this issue is the impact of our renowned faculty. We feature an article on Professor Franita Tolson’s legal analysis of a proposed constitutional amendment on voting rights, and a profile on Professor Jody Armour, whose expertise was highly sought by the news media to give context to national protests for criminal justice reform and racial equity. Further, this magazine covers Professor Lisa Klerman’s work to address domestic violence during the pandemic, and includes a special tribute honoring the life and legacy of Professor Ed Kleinbard, a foremost tax scholar, who passed away in June at age 68 following a brave battle with cancer. I invite you to take a look at other notable stories including: a spotlight on Gould’s talented JD Class of 2023, our most diverse and selective cohort to date; a glimpse into the creativity and collaborative efforts across the law school enabling us to transition to an online environment; and a newly launched project by a Gould student and a recent alum to send free art kits to Los Angeles-area schoolchildren in vulnerable communities amid COVID-19 restrictions. As we begin a new year, I want to wish everyone good health, safety and many bright days ahead. Thank you for being part of our law school. Andrew T.
