UCLA School of Law has received a gift from alumni James D. C. Barrall and his wife Carole Barrall to establish the Barrall Family Endowed Chair in Tax Law, in honor of Jim's parents, Raymond C. and Shirley C. Barrall. The chair will be awarded to a distinguished faculty member who concentrates his or her scholarship and teaching in the area of tax law and will enrich the law school's study and teaching of tax law.
James Barrall has also worked to permanently endow a scholarship named for one of his late colleagues, the Thomas A. Kirschbaum Scholarship in Tax Law. In 2008, he was awarded status as Alumnus of the Year for Professional Achievement from the law school.
A partner in the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins LLP, Barrall’s work in executive compensation, corporate governance, securities law and employee benefit matters has earned him national recognition.
He is a member of the law school’s Board of Advisors, the Board of the Lowell Milken Institute for Business Law and Policy, and the school’s Centennial Campaign Cabinet.
