UC Irvine School of Law, enabled by a generous gift from the Donald Bren Foundation, has an unprecedented ‘clean slate’ to unite the best of traditional top-tier legal education with innovative thinking.
Every UC Irvine School of Law graduate will have many meaningful opportunities to work with real clients on real legal problems.
Joseph DiMento
Founding Faculty
More than 35 years ago, armed with newly minted Ph.D. and law degrees from the University of Michigan, Joseph DiMento drove across the country to take a job as a professor in Social Ecology at UC Irvine. Last year, he became a founding faculty member at the UC Irvine School of Law, where he will teach an innovative course on methods of legal analysis in international law. He recently answered some questions posed by UCI student Tom Lerner.
The school benefits from an incomparable Southern California location, a richly diverse and interdisciplinary campus and unparalleled support from the national and local legal and business communities.
