Aris Prince

Aris E. Prince is passionate about fighting for people who face unfair treatment or discrimination and helping them navigate the legal system. To pursue this passion, Aris joined V. James DeSimone Law and Bohm Law Group in January 2024 as an Associate Attorney. Aris received her J.D. from UCLA School of Law in 2022 with a specialization in the David J. Epstein Public Interest Law and Policy program. She received her B.A. in Neuroscience & Behavior from Columbia University in the City of New York in 2016.

Aris has already shown herself to be a vigorous advocate for our clients prosecuting employment discrimination and police misconduct cases, writing persuasive and compelling legal briefs and taking incisive fact-finding depositions. 

Prior to joining V. James DeSimone Law, Aris was an Associate at well-respected plaintiff-side employment firm, where she represented employees in disputes involving wage and hour violations, misclassification, sexual harassment, disability discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, race discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, and failure to accommodate violations. She also litigated violations of the False Claims Act.

During law school, Aris externed for the Western Center on Law & Poverty, where she worked on discovery and conducted extensive research on FEHA and Covid-19 Tenant Relief Act conflict of law issues, equity concerns regarding unemployment insurance and address requirements, and Covid-19 rent forgiveness agreements. She interned at the ACLU of Southern California in the First Amendment and Democracy Project, where she engaged in substantial research and writing in preparation for redistricting. She also interned at Bet Tzedek Legal Services, where she worked on legal issues related to obtaining and maintaining housing, including improper notice, relocation assistance, LARSO, Covid-19 protections, Section 8, and public benefits.

Aris was the Symposium Director for the UCLA Journal of International Law & Foreign Affairs, where she organized the journal’s 2022 symposium on “Borders, the Pandemic & Human Rights.” The symposium addressed how race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability serve as social barriers to those attempting to access and utilize domestic power structures and institutions. Other experiences include participation in the UCLA First Amendment Amicus Brief clinic, the Food Law & Policy clinic, and the UCLA Covid-19 Behind Bars Data Project.
