History

The school that is today known as Berkeley Law began life in 1894 as the Department of Jurisprudence of the University of California.[6] The department was founded by professor William Carey Jones, who personally taught all its courses for the first three years.[6] According to Jones, the inspiration for the department came from his experience in 1882 teaching a course in Roman law to Berkeley seniors.[6] Jones envisioned that the new department would be less vocational and more academic in comparison to the existing Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.[6] Initially, the department was merely intended to broaden Berkeley undergraduates' academic knowledge of the law.[6] Students who wished to learn how to actually practice law were referred to Hastings, where coursework already completed at Berkeley could count towards earning Hastings law degrees.[6]

In 1901, the number of faculty was increased to six by the hiring of one lecturer and two instructors, which enabled the department to offer courses adding up to two years of instruction.[6] In 1902, the addition of four more lecturers enabled the department to provide a complete three-year law program and the referrals to Hastings were discontinued.[6] On June 26, 1902, newspapers in San Francisco and Oakland reported that there was now a "complete law school" at Berkeley, whose graduates would be eligible to immediately apply for admission to the California bar without having to take additional courses at Hastings.[6] The department awarded its first law degrees in 1903 to three men, one of whom was journalist and labor activist Motoyuki Negoro.[6] In 1906, Emmy Marcuse was the first woman to earn a law degree from the department.[6]

In 1912, the department moved into the then newly built Boalt Memorial Hall of Law at the center of the main UC Berkeley campus.[7] This building was completed in 1911 with funds partially obtained from Elizabeth Josselyn Boalt donated in memory of her late husband, John Henry Boalt, an attorney who had resided in Oakland, California until his death in 1901. As a result of the donation and this new building, the institution became known as the "Boalt Hall School of Jurisprudence".

In 1951, the law school moved to its current location in the southeastern section of the UC Berkeley campus. This law building was christened as the new "Boalt Hall", while the old law school building was renamed to "Durant Hall". (Durant Hall was subsequently rehabilitated and is still used today as office space for deans of the College of Letters and Science.) With this move, the institution was renamed again and became the "Boalt Hall School of Law".

In April 2008, the law school rebranded itself[8] through an official change of name to "UC Berkeley School of Law" (shortened to "Berkeley Law") to tie the law school's name more closely with its parent university. The administration hoped that this would improve the law school's national and international name recognition, as many individuals knew UC Berkeley had a law school but were often confused as to whether the name "Boalt Hall" referred to a separate institution. Despite the official name change, "Boalt Hall" continued to be used as the name of the law school's primary building and to refer to the law school informally for another 12 years.[9][10]

By 2009, Berkeley Law was desperately short of space because the faculty had increased by about 25 percent over the past four years.[11] The law school launched a multi-year renovation and expansion project which was eventually completed in 2012. The most important improvement was to relocate and expand the law library into an underground facility under a new South Pavilion.[11] Since the mid-1990s, the law library stacks had been crammed into conventional shelving in the law school's North Addition. Construction contractors dug a deep hole in the middle of the law school's courtyard, put the law library stacks two levels underground, and installed powered compact shelving units that move at the touch of a button.[12] At ground level, they built a glass pavilion housing classrooms, a student lounge, and a cafe, all of which is topped off by a rooftop garden accessible by a second-floor bridge.[12] The North Addition is now home to the Robbins Collection (a separate library of religious and civil law materials) and the Visiting Scholar Program.

In January 2020, Berkeley Law completely removed the name "Boalt Hall" from its primary law school building and in all references made to the law school.[13] The de-naming was the outcome of a nearly three-year process launched after a UC Berkeley lecturer discovered writings by John Henry Boalt expressing flagrantly racist views.[13] In an e-mail sent to the university at the time, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ wrote, "Boalt made profoundly offensive and racist statements about Chinese and Chinese Americans, suggesting that it would be better to 'exterminate' those of Chinese descent than to have them assimilate."[13] The university also found that Boalt had no other historical legacy than his racism, and that naming the building after him had not been a condition of his widow's donation.[13] This was the first time in UC Berkeley's history that the name of a building had been removed because its namesake's values did not align with those of the university.[13] Going forward, the law school building will now be known simply as the Law Building.[13] (UCLA and UC Irvine have always used the term "Law Building" to describe the homes of their respective law schools.)

Admissions

The J.D. program's admissions process is highly selective, with Berkeley Law admitting 20.2% of all applicants who applied in 2019. [14] Berkeley Law is known to value high undergraduate GPAs. The 25th and 75th Law School Admission Test (LSAT) percentiles for the Class of 2022 were 165 and 170, respectively, with a median of 168. The 25th and 75th undergraduate GPA percentiles were 3.64 and 3.90, respectively, with a median of 3.81.[15]

For a typical class in the J.D. program, the average age of admitted students is 25 years old, with a range of ages from 20 to 48 years old. The student-faculty ratio is nearly 6:1. Berkeley Law is unique among most law schools for having a class usually composed of 60% women and 40% men.[16]

Academics

Berkeley Law has approximately 850 J.D. students, 200 students in the LL.M. and J.S.D. programs, and 45 students in the Ph.D. program in Jurisprudence and Social Policy. The School also features specialized curricular programs in Business, Law and Economics, Comparative Legal Studies, Environmental Law, International Legal Studies, Law and Technology, and Social Justice.

Berkeley Law's grading system for the J.D. program is unusual among most law schools but similar to the grading system used at Yale Law School, Harvard Law School, and Stanford Law School. Students are graded on a High Honors (HH), Honors (H), and Pass (P) scale. Approximately 60% of the students in each class receive a grade of Pass, 30% receive a grade of Honors, and the highest 10% receive a grade of High Honors; lower grades of Substandard Pass (or Pass Conditional, abbreviated PC) and No Credit (NC) may be awarded at the discretion of professors. The top student in each class or section receives the Jurisprudence Award, while the second-place student receives the Prosser Prize.

The faculty of Berkeley Law also provide academic direction and the bulk of the instruction for the undergraduate program in Legal Studies, which is organized as a major in Letters and Science. The Legal Studies program is not intended as a pre-law program, but rather as a liberal arts program "that can encourage sustained reflection on fundamental values."[17]

Berkeley Law has a chapter of the Order of the Coif, a national law school honorary society founded for the purposes of encouraging legal scholarship and advancing the ethical standards of the legal profession.[18]

The law school has been American Bar Association approved since 1923.[19] It joined the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) in 1912.[20]

Berkeley Law offers combined degree programs with other schools within both the UC Berkeley campus and the broader University of California system, as well as joint master's degrees with Tufts University and Harvard University.[21]

Post-graduation employment

In 2018, the school's bar passage rate was 90.9%.[22]

According to Berkeley's official ABA-required disclosures, over 90 percent of 2018 graduates obtained full-time, long-term, bar admission-required employment nine months after graduation.[23]

  • Billy McBride, the attorney protagonist of the Amazon series Goliath played by Billy Bob Thornton (and which Thornton won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama for portraying) is a Berkeley Law alumnus. In Season 3, Episode 4, "Full Circle", McBride goes through a box of law school mementos that include a page-flagged Constitutional Law casebook and a folded-up piece of paper with the words "Boalt Hall" on it. Also in Season 2, Episode 1, "La Mano", a "University of California" diploma can be seen hanging from the wall of McBride's makeshift office (that operates out of a room in the Ocean Lodge Hotel). By the process of elimination, this is a law degree diploma because in the pilot (Season 1, Episode 1, "Of Mice and Men"), McBride mentions he "went to college" at, and graduated with an undergraduate degree from Indiana University (where he also played baseball). The series creator Jonathan Shapiro is a Berkeley Law alumnus as well.
  • Sandy Cohen, a character on the popular television series The O.C., is a lawyer and Berkeley Law alumnus. "The O.C. at Boalt" is a student group that, in addition to screening episodes of The O.C. during the lunch period, offers the Sandy Cohen Fellowship, a summer grant for students who plan to work as public defenders (on The O.C., Sandy Cohen worked as a public defender while living in Orange County). In recent years, "The O.C. at Boalt" has also managed to bring Peter Gallagher, the actor who plays Sandy Cohen, to UC Berkeley School of Law to speak on an annual basis.
  • Matthew Perry played a Republican graduate of UC Berkeley School of Law on multiple episodes of The West Wing.
  • Kelly Rutherford played lawyer Samantha "Sonny" Liston, a graduate of UC Berkeley School of Law, on E-Ring.
  • Joanie Caucus, a character in Garry Trudeau's comic strip Doonesbury, attended UC Berkeley School of Law.
  • In Catch Me If You Can, Martin Sheen plays Roger Strong, the District Attorney of New Orleans and a UC Berkeley School of Law alumnus.
  • In the movie Intolerable Cruelty, a copy of the California Law Review is featured prominently on a table in the senior partner's office.
  • Judy Carrier, a major continuing character in Lisa Scottoline's novels about Rosato & Associates— an all-woman law firm in Philadelphia, received her degree from UC Berkeley School of Law.
  • Pete Harrison, played by Bradley Whitford, was the leading role in the hit show "Trophy Wife", and was a Berkeley Law graduate. He dons a Berkeley Law sweatshirt in the first season.
