The University of California's law schools are
among the nation's most outstanding legal training grounds. Their
distinguished faculty are recognized worldwide for their contributions
to scholarship and legal reform in a broad spectrum of fields that
affect our everyday life—from criminal and corporate law to
employment and intellectual property issues to environmental and
international policies.
UC's law schools offer an excellent interdisciplinary
curriculum, specialized programs and a dynamic learning environment
that fosters camaraderie and cooperation. Students receive comprehensive
training in the fundamental objects of legal analysis—judicial
decisions, statutes, administrative rules, and constitutions—as
well as the social, political, economic and jurisprudential principles
that underlie, inform and change the law.
The law schools' clinical programs also provide many opportunities
for students to get first-hand experience working on real cases
as part of their legal education. Students participate in a variety
of projects that provide legal services directly to individual clients
or involve close interaction with lawyers on large-scale cases or
other legal matters. Whether they assist a victim of domestic violence,
gain political asylum for a refugee, argue in a federal court, help
an HIV-positive mother with her legal needs, or represent a child
in a guardianship, most students describe their clinical experience
as one of the most significant components of their legal education.
