Professor Donna Ryu receives 12th annual California Lawyer of the Year (CLAY) Award for Employment Law. The CLAY award honors CA lawyers for their "extraordinary achievements" and "profound impact on the law". California Lawyer honored Professor Ryu for her work in employment law. The profile published in the March 2008 edition notes that Ryu "battled an industry effort led by Kenneth Cole Productions and its amici - who were represented by some of the largest defense firms in the country - in successive appeals in Murphy v. Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. She took on the case after the clinic students she supervised won the first round in superior court. Her work culminated in a unanimous California Supreme Court decision (40 Cal.4th 1094 (2007)) that resolved two highly contested issues in favor of employees."   Profile of Professor Donna Ryu
