June 18, 2016 – YLSA of Southern California – Annual Summer Gathering

On Saturday, June 18, 2016, approximately 125 alumni from the Southern California area gathered for a lovely dinner at the home Christine Adams ’94 and Jim Asperger in Pasadena. Featured speaker Tom Tyler, Macklin Fleming Professor of Law and Professor of Psychology at Yale Law School, explored the recent rising public pushback against police and why the public is mistrustful of them, the courts, the law and the government. His talk examined what these high levels of mistrust say about popular legitimacy in contemporary America. Attendees enjoyed the gorgeous setting and visiting with fellow alumni. Thank you again to our gracious hosts and to all who were able to join us!
