Cody
Laux

Cody Laux is an associate attorney at Clarkson Law Firm, dedicated to trauma-informed and client-centered advocacy. She is passionate about vindicating the rights of disabled people, workers, and consumers and about advocating for the expansion of their legal protections. Cody focuses her litigation practice on employment, consumer protection, mass torts, sexual assault, and disability discrimination.

Cody graduated from UCLA School of Law in 2024 and is a member of the David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law & Policy cohort. UCLA Law awarded Cody the Achievement Fellowship, a full tuition scholarship reserved for a small number of academically talented students who have also overcome adversity. While at UCLA Law, Cody specialized in Critical Race Theory, served as Articles Editor for the UCLA Journal of Gender & Law, was co-chair of the National Lawyers Guild, and participated in the Veteran’s Legal Clinic. Prior to UCLA Law, Cody attended Stanford University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies, with a minor in Art Practice. During her undergraduate studies, she received the John Shively Fowler Award for Excellence in Photography, the Chappell Lougee Scholarship, and various awards for literary excellence.

Cody grew up system-impacted due to the incarceration of her primary caretakers and her placement in the foster care system. This background enables Cody to approach clients from a place of true empathy. When not at her desk, Cody can be found rockhounding (aka practicing amateur geology) in the far reaches of LA County. She is obsessed with finding rare gems and minerals in the wild. Her only son is Elias, a Kooikerhondje dog. Cody is always down for a game of music trivia.
