Two of our faculty members have made the news in recent months, one for a high-profile case they’re litigating, the other for a high-profile Governor’s race they ran in.

Attorney Stephen Noel Ilg, who teaches Remedies at PCL, has been featured recently in publications including Forbes and The Daily Journal for representing plaintiffs, including Emma Majo, in a class action against Sony for violations of the United States’ Equal Pay Act. Given the longstanding history of gender discrimination in the gaming industry, many people are paying close attention to this high-profile civil rights case being handled though ILG Legal Office, PC.

Attorney Dan Kapelovitz, who teaches both Criminal Procedure and Evidence, made a splash in the recent California Gubernatorial recall election. As a Green Party candidate eligible for the replacement vote, Kapelovitz garnered over 64-thousand votes, and came in 15th place overall out of some 50 competing candidates. Ultimately, the incumbent was not recalled, but Kapelovitz’s strong showing proves there’s voters looking for progressive change. Kapelovitz’s intrepid run was chronicled in several articles, including:
