Some of the most important lessons in law school never appear on a syllabus. For Veena Dubal J.D. ’06 Ph.D. ‘14, many came through years of mentorship from Berkeley Law Professor Catherine “KT” Albiston J.D. ’93 Ph.D. ’01— in seminar conversations, overnight dissertation feedback, career pivots, personal struggles, and a model of scholarship rooted in evidence, diligence, and care. Albiston, faculty director of Berkeley Law’s Center for the Study of Law and Society (CSLS) and a co-faculty director of its Center for Law and Work, has taught at the school since 2003 and received the Carol D. Soc Award for distinguished graduate mentoring in 2016. Dubal studied under Albiston in the school’s Jurisprudence and Social Policy (JSP) Program and is now a professor at UC Irvine School of Law and general counsel of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).
