As Faculty Director of the UC Law Indigenous Law Center, in addition to other responsibilities, Carrillo facilitates a seminar series called Law &. This series brings lawyers, students, and California Tribal leaders into the law school classroom to discuss land back and land stewardship issues. To date Law & Seminars have covered such topics as Tribal Law, International Indigenous Peoples Rights Law (a seminar that includes instructors from all common law countries), Indigenous Land Acknowledgments (with Jonathan Cordero, Metush (Chair) of the Ramaytush Tribe and Executive Director of the Association of Ramaytush Oholone) and Enhancing Access to Land and Stewardship (with Curtis Berkey of Berkey Williams and supported by a grant from the Resources Legacy Fund). Recently, again with assistance from the Resources Legacy Fund, Carrillo has undertaken to study land back transfer documents.
