UCLA School of Law

Some of the challenges that I have no choice but to face at a very young age were to go to work and school. I want to go to college and get a degree in pre-law so I can be the best lawyer and help my parent get their own house so they don’t have to worry about anything when they are older. I’m very hard working and I will pull thought anything thing that comes my way. I go to work after school with my mother from 3:00 to 9:30 and I don’t get home till 10 and that’s the time I start with my…

reasonable. This meant that speech got virtually no judicial protection. Government suppression of speech can usually be thought to serve some reasonable purpose, such as reducing social discord or promoting healthy morals. Similarly, most gun control laws can be viewed as efforts to save lives and prevent crime, which are perfectly reasonable goals. If that’s enough to justify infringements on individual liberty, neither constitutional guarantee means much of anything. During the twentieth…

the college basketball championship raking in big bucks for the NCAA, former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon thinks that those players should get paid. While the NCAA has 17 official corporate sponsors that have each paid the organization $10 million to $35 million, O’Bannon said the athletes’ compensation doesn’t have to be $1 million but just a “little something” to recognize that they are bringing in money to their school. An example of an athlete fighting for their rights when it comes to…

As a part of my engagement assignment I decided to build a connection with a faculty mentor. After reading through the staff listing on the Arizona State website I decided that I wanted to sit down and talk with Professor Gregory Bernstein. I chose Professor Bernstein, because I read in his bio that he had written and sold several scripts. Becoming a writer for television and film is my goal, and the reason I chose to attend ASU, so I was interested to see what advice he could give me about the…

human life? The answer to that question should very obviously be no, yet that’s what women do legally every single day. In the case of Roe v. Wade that took place in 1973 a pregnant woman, a doctor, and a married couple tried to fight against the law that made abortion illegal claiming that it was unconstitutional (Roe v. Wade - Case Brief Summary). Ever since that case was won, the United States has suffered over 53 million casualties. Those casualties came from the babies who never got a…

Jamie Randall Elmoznino English 09 February 2016 Affirmative Action; All Used Up? During the 1960 's, African Americans and white people were segregated. African Americans couldn 't go to the same school as white people. They couldn 't eat in the same restaurants. They couldn 't even drink from the same water fountains. Everything was separate and supposedly equal. The separation of African Americans led to campaigns of civil resistance. There were a series of nonviolent protests…

equality for all. A memorable and historic moment for the LGBT community, which took place last year on June 26, 2016, which was the day that gay marriage was legalized nationwide. Then in 2016, the Obama administration sent out a statement to public schools, nationwide that required all transgender students to use the bathroom they feel most comfortable in. But not all states complied with the obama administration. Texas state’ attorney general, Ken Paxton said it should be a “localized”…

“let parents decide which schools are best for their children” (Donald Trump on Education). Given such school options, students like Sonny may opt to choose specialty schools that are mostly limited to the socially advantaged. Such group refers to those who live in affluent communities wherein public school system is considered to be of high standards. To illustrate, the Department of education regulates one’s “school choice” based on a student’s residency. “Public schools are financed with…

explained that the rich needed the poor to do the labor for them as the rich folks were not going to. They did not want to harvest their own cottons and build their own houses. The present United States is known as the land of opportunity, and the law mandates that employers must not discriminate applicants based on skin color, race, etc. with many known as equal opportunity employers. Is it know? Statistics have proven that Asian Americans have the highest proportion of college graduates in the…

So one way an undocumented person can purchase health insurance is through school. For example on April 27, 2014 Zamosky wrote an article in the Los Angeles Times that stated, “many colleges and universities require students to either buy their school's health insurance policy or show proof of other coverage. Immigration status is generally not questioned when students apply, and the plans are affordable. UCLA enforces such a requirement, and so for the first time in her life Lozano has health…
