Shauhin Talesh
Alumni Shauhin Talesh, a new UCI Law faculty member, and his brother Rameen Talesh, UCI Dean of Students, are a lot alike. They love basketball, music and UCI. And both have returned to campus to pursue careers and give back to their alma mater. "I remember getting a call from Rameen saying, 'Hey, UCI's going to create a law school. I made it back here, and now it's your turn,' " Shauhin says. "I returned to a place that's familiar to me because I wanted to participate in building a newly founded law school, one grounded in an innovative curriculum and social justice. That's something no other university could offer."
Edgar Aguilasocho and David Rodwin
Class of 2012
Working with the new Immigrant Rights Clinic at UCI Law, 3Ls Edgar Aguilasocho and David Rodwin conducted a study on the local effects of the immigration program called Secure Communities, in which local law enforcement authorities pass on information about arrestees to federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The two students interviewed Los Angeles residents in immigration detention and found “dire consequences even for Los Angeles residents who have no involvement in criminal activity,” they wrote in a Jan. 25 op-ed in the Daily Journal. This kind of policing is “unfair, arbitrary, and can lead to racial profiling,” they wrote.
