Hull, Associate Justice, California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District; and the Honorable Sandra S. Ikuta, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
King Hall faculty in attendance in Wilkins Moot Courtroom for the event included Dean Kevin R. Johnson, Associate Dean Vikram Amar, and Professors Alan Brownstein, Edward Imwinkelried, and Tim Schooley, who taught the Moot Court course and directs the Appellate Advocacy Program. Also in the attendance was Kathleen Doty, California International Law Center at King Hall (CILC) Fellow, who with Schooley co-taught the Moot Court class.
