The coach of UCLA’s Mock Trial team is much more than a lawyer, businessman and graduate professor. He is a Cuban refugee, has gone to over 1,000 professional baseball games, owns a Han Solo refrigerator and drives a black Tesla with the license plate “Death Star.”

Daily Bruin Video talked to professor Gonzalo Freixes about his background, role in mock trial and his love for all things Star Wars.
