Kevin R. Johnson, Former UC Davis Law Dean, Featured in LexPreLaw Retrospective
Kevin R. Johnson, the Mabie-Apallas Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of the Aoki Center, as well as a Professor of Chicana/o Studies at UC Davis, is highlighted in a five-year retrospective of LexPreLaw. LexPreLaw, part of LexScholars by AccessLex®, was launched in 2020 to assess how targeted support can improve law school admission outcomes for aspiring lawyers from underrepresented racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Johnson, who joined the UC Davis law faculty in 1989 and served as Dean from 2008 to 2024—the longest term in the school's history—has taught various subjects including immigration law, civil procedure, and Critical Race Theory. He received the law school’s Distinguished Teaching Award in 1993.
