LAWYERS AND LEADERS

Allison Korn, an innovator in clinical pedagogy and experiential curriculum design, will become the director @dukehealthjustice on July 1. A former public defender and current assistant dean for experiential education and director of the Food Law and Policy Clinic at UCLA School of Law, Korn is excited to build a “deep and rich legacy” at the Clinic. She succeeds Clinical Professor Allison Rice, who is retiring after 28 years on the Law School faculty. Known as an innovator in clinical pedagogy and experiential curriculum design, Korn has overseen the rapid growth of opportunities for hands-on learning at UCLA, which has over the last five years added more than a dozen clinics and practicum courses and expanded its trial advocacy and externship programs. “Allison is a respected leader in the field of clinical legal education with a strong and visible commitment to centering social justice and race in the curriculum,” said Clinical Professor Michelle Benedict Nowlin JD/MA ‘92, who co-directs @dukeelpc and led the search committee.
