EJS Welcomes Law Clerk, Shaffy Moeel Shaffy Moeel has joined EJS this summer as an intern from the UCLA School of Law Class of 2005 where she is enrolled in the Critical Race Studies Concentration Program. Shaffy received her BA from UC Berkeley in 2000. Last summer, she clerked for the Los Angeles U.S. Immigration Court and this summer was awarded the Robert M. Takasugi Fellowship for 2004. Shaffy is an editor of "Another World is Possible: Conversations in a Time of Terror" (2001) and co-founder of UCLA Law's Critical Race Studies Law Student Association. She is also the Articles Editor of UCLA Law's Journal of Near Eastern and Islamic Law. At EJS this summer, Shaffy is conducting research on progressive corporate law, the intent doctrine and Equal Protection, and Section 1983; and assisting with an amicus curiae brief on same sex marriage. Thank You, Allegra! We're also sad to say goodbye to EJS Program Assistant, Allegra Churchill, who leaves this month to pursue a new opportunity in city and regional planning. Allegra's efforts and leadership have helped in shaping EJS to become the organization that it is today. Eva Paterson, EJS President/Executive Director adds, "When Allegra joined EJS in March of 2003, there were only three of us, Allegra, Susan Serrano, and myself. Due in large part to her tireless and selfless work and impish high spirits, EJS is now a thriving, vital, effective organization. When we tell our creation story, we will sing the praises of Allegra Churchill. We will all miss her and send her on her way with love and light." The staff and board wish Allegra well, but know that she will always be a part of the EJS family.
