In February, USC Gould School of Law Dean Franita Tolson moderated the 3rd Annual Ruth J. Lavine Women in Law Symposium.
Dean Tolson spoke with Lindsay Toczylowski (JD 2008), executive director of the Immigrant Defenders Center, about Toczylowski’s career, life and accomplishments during the annual discussion named for Lavine (LLB 1943), a pioneer in the legal practice who was an active supporter of USC Gould and its students until her passing in 2023. Attendees included Lavine’s family members, Len and Cathy Unger, Jack Dudley and Maura Covaci.
