Brad Zukerman (he/him), Staff Attorney, holds a J.D. from UCLA School of Law and a B.A. in History and Economics from the University of Oregon. Brad went to law school in order to advocate for people impacted by the criminal legal system. While at UCLA, he interned with the Policing Project at NYU, the ACLU of Southern California, and the New York County Defender Service. As co-director of the UCLA Incarcerated Person’s Correspondence Project, he organized workshops for law students and volunteers to provide research, advice, and companionship to incarcerated people throughout California.

After law school, Brad became a legal Fellow at the MacArthur Justice Center (MJC), Supreme Court and Appellate Program, where he organized a state court litigation campaign against long term solitary confinement and represented individuals challenging state violence and unconstitutional conditions of confinement.  Most recently, Brad clerked for Judge Jeremy D. Peterson of the Eastern District of California. In that role, he worked on cases brought by incarcerated people, typically without counsel, challenging abuse and neglect at the hands of corrections officials, denials of medical care, and other aspects of their confinement. At UnCommon Law Brad represents clients in every stage of the parole process and supervises both UCL’s limited-representation Consultations program and the distribution of resources about the parole process.
