The University of California Irvine School of Law has announced that Austen L. Parrish will join the faculty as the law school’s next dean.
“Former deans Erwin Chemerinsky and Song Richardson have set a very high bar for leadership at UCI Law, and to be selected to follow in their footsteps is an honor. This is a thrilling time to lead this simply extraordinary school and to help further its reputation as an eminent and innovative academic community,” Parrish said in the announcement.
Parrish will begin his role as dean on August 3.
