ACS / LLSA at UCLA District Judge Hernán Vera Q&A Lunch Event
American Constitution Society at UCLA (ACS) and Latine Law Student Association at UCLA (LLSA) are excited to host U.S. District Judge Hernán D. Vera for a Q&A event on Wednesday, October 15th, 12:15pm-1:15pm in Room 1457. He is a UCLA Law alum who has served on the federal bench in downtown Los Angeles since 2023. Prior to his federal service, he worked as a LA County Superior Court judge, as CEO of Public Counsel, in big law, and more. RSVP to reserve your free lunch (if you RSVP after October 8th, we will strive to get you a lunch, but no guarantees).
About half of the time will be a Q&A between the Judge and yours truly (I externed for him this summer!), while the other half will be an open Q&A with the audience. Feel free to ask questions on professional, academic, career, and other matters. Hope to see you there. Send any comments/questions to draperj2027@lawnet.ucla.edu.
