*Winter 2018*

*Gone West*

Professionals with a Kline School of Law pedigree are gradually 
beginning to establish a presence in the western states, especially 
California.

Kline alumni stretch from the North to the South of the Golden State, 
working in diverse arenas of practice.

Many are natives who decided to return to their roots. Others have 
pursued career opportunities there, including Hans Smith, ’12, who moved 
from Baker & Hostetler in Philadelphia to the firm’s Orange County office.

*There's No Place Like (a) Home*

As the pro bono coordinator for the Homeless Action Center in Berkeley, 
Charles Bruce, ’10, navigates a complex web of needs, bridging two 
cultures that have little in common.

Assuming the role nearly two years ago, Bruce solicits pro bono 
representation for homeless clients seeking disability benefits. It’s no 
simple process to match clients who cope with mental illness and trauma 
to private attorneys who are used to negotiating deals in a boardroom or 
litigating cases in a courtroom. The fact that disability benefit 
applications take more than a year to work their way through a 
bureaucratic eligibility process doesn’t help.

*On the Frontier of Justice Reform*

Jess Farris spends her days focused on the affairs of pretrial 
defendants who are locked up in California jails and their loved ones 
who are scrambling to get them out.

The director of criminal justice and the policy and advocacy counsel for 
the ACLU of Southern California, Farris, ’12, is a key player in a 
statewide effort to advance bail reform in the state legislature.

*Speak Softly and Carry a Big Dream*

Nothing in Nobumasa Hiroi’s placid demeanor betrays that he is an 
intensely enterprising individual. Don’t be fooled.

Born in Japan, the ’12 alumnus speaks three languages and has lived in 
Europe and South America as well as Asia and North America. He’s been 
engaged in legal work in the U.S., Japan and China. His interests range 
from literature (he earned a master’s degree in English and creative 
writing) to nuclear nonproliferation (he interned one summer for the 
Project for Nuclear Awareness).

*Restless Compass*

Since earning her JD in 2011, Ellie Austin has demonstrated that it is, 
after all, possible to be both footloose and sure-footed.

Soon after graduating, the Golden State native returned and began 
practicing at a firm that represents Southern California districts in 
special-education matters.

Though Austin continued with the firm for nearly four years, she worked 
remotely for much of that time, following geographic, professional and 
personal pathways in diverse directions.

*The Outlier*

If you want to know what life is like for the typical immigration lawyer 
these days, don’t bother asking Ted Oswald.

As the immigrant legal services manager at World Relief’s office in 
Sacramento, Oswald is quite an outlier.

First of all, Oswald is not deeply involved in securing visas for 
foreign workers or fighting deportations, despite a rise in immigration 
arrests since President Trump took office. Secondly, most attorneys 
helping the Special Immigrant Visa holders who previously served as 
interpreters for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have seen their 
client numbers dwindle. Yet business is booming for the ’11 alumnus.
