Letter from the Editor
A brief note from Editor-in-Chief, Dashiell Tucker
Dear Journal supporters and alumni,
First and foremost, we thank you for your continued support and mentorship. We couldn’t do this without you! Special thanks to our both our outgoing and our newly appointed alumni board—your service is deeply appreciated.
Volume 75 is off to a great start with one significant change—we are now officially rechristened as UC Law Journal in parallel with the school’s name change. That this change comes in tandem with the Journal celebrating three-quarters of a century as UC Law SF’s flagship scholarly publication feels momentous. We look forward to carrying the extra-celebratory mood through the whole academic year.
We also kicked off this volume with two outstandingly successful events—Meet the Employers and the Fall Alumni Mixer. We received strong positive feedback from many 2Ls who enjoyed meeting you. We deeply appreciate your support and presence at the events and look forward to seeing you all in the Spring.
Also in the Spring, we will be hosting our symposium with the theme of “We the People: Citizenship, Race, and Equality,” for which we will be partnering with UC Law SF’s Center for Race, Immigration, Citizenship, and Equality (RICE). The symposium will be held on February 2, 2024, and will be in person with Zoom attendance available. We hope to see you there and will have further updates as we solidify our list of panelists.
Finally, we will be hosting our “EIC forum” in January, where we will hear from the candidates interested in leading Volume 76. We are lucky to have a wonderful 2025 Journal class, and we know the next generation is well situated to keep the Journal forging forward.
Best wishes and happy holidays,
Dashiell Tucker
Editor-in-Chief

SCOCAblog is excited to announce several recent publications ! In addition to opinion and analyses on important cases such as the three part Briggs v. Brown (2017) and the consequential People v. Buza (2018) decisions, SCOCA has published opinion pieces in 2023 and 2024 on California water law, housing law and the funding of housing and infrastructure, and the rights of transgender and intersex persons with respect to California constitutional privacy claims. Our Concurrence Matrix, a tool that tracks the agreement rate of the justices relative to each other as a percentage value, has continued to provide valuable insights and is available to the public.
If you are a person interested in, or working with, areas of debated California law, we invite you to submit a brief piece on topical California Supreme Court developments. Our publication focuses on opinion analyses, persuasive pieces such as the Balance of Judicial Independence Against Public Confidence, and articles interpreting the California Constitution.
If you are interested in publishing with SCOCAblog, please reach out to Andrew Jacobs at ahjacobs@uclawsf.edu and as always, keep an eye on the latest developments at www.scocablog.com!
