Virtual 1:1 Advising Appointments
Thanks for your interest in Berkeley Law! We offer individual advising appointments on select Tuesdays and Thursdays. These meetings are intended for prospective JD applicants for the 2025-26 cycle (to begin law school in August 2026). Due to limited availability, all Fall 2025 advising sessions will be held virtually. Schedule an appointment here. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate walk-in advising appointments.
Virtual Office Hours
You have questions – we have answers! Join us for virtual office hours, where members of the Admissions team are available to answer your questions. As the name suggests, office hours are intended to be drop-in sessions, so you may join or leave at any time within the given timeframe. We will be using the chat and raise hand feature to answer questions, depending on your preference. Please note that office hours are not individual, and everyone in the room is invited to ask a question and hear the answer, so you should refrain from asking highly personal questions or sharing sensitive information. All times listed below are Pacific Standard Time. Click the links below to register for the Zoom meeting.
