I can't find 2010-2011 fees on the UCLA website, but on the Berkeley website fees went up from about $37k (2009-10) to $44k (2010-11) and the 2012-13 fees are budgeted at almost $52k. (That's for residents!) I would expect UCLA to be similarly priced.
I don't know if these numbers even factor in the recent court ruling that UC refund past graduates $38 million dollars. Obviously, California has serious ongoing budget issues and if UC is not able get that overturned on appeal, schools will need to increase tuition further to cover that expense.
It's really a bummer that California doesn't have any affordable public law schools. According to LSN, tuition for 2006-07 was about $25k: doubling in six years, is pretty ridiculous.
