From 2011 to 2012, he served as counsel to the Los Angeles County Citizens’ Commission on Jail Violence, investigating inappropriate use of force by deputies within the county jail system and assisting in the drafting of a report on the prevalence and causes of deputy-on-inmate violence and potential reforms.
