As a critical part of the search process, the search committee seeks input from the campus community on ideal qualities and qualifications for the new dean, current issues and priorities that could help set the agenda for the UCLA School of Law, and any other information or insight that will help guide the committee’s efforts.

All input, inquiries, nominations and applications will be held in strict confidence.
