Public service defines outgoing Berkeley Law dean’s legacy

Gillian Lester quoted in The Daily Californian, August 21, 2013

Lester said that one of Edley’s most notable contributions has been the establishment of research centers through the law school that are tailored to study and tackle some of the public’s most pressing issues. “One of his real strengths, his signature contributions, was to channel and help put our work toward on-the-ground policy reform,” she said. “He really made commitments to the public tradition of Berkeley Law.”
