UCLA LAW — Yesterday, the UCLA Environmental Law Clinic filed a brief in the California Restaurant Association v. Berkeley case on behalf of seven law professors: William Boyd, Dan Farber and Sharon Jacobs at UC Berkeley, Jim Rossi at Vanderbilt, David Spence at UT Austin, Shelley Welton at UPenn, and Hannah Wiseman at Penn State. (The same group that weighed in on this case last year, when it was first heard by the Ninth Circuit.) The professors are amici curiae, meaning that they are offering their considerable expertise in energy and environmental law to the court to help it decide an issue.
