We choose our students—and our faculty—for their passion
and commitment to learning and justice.
Berkeley Law’s six in-house clinics are directed by faculty members who are highly regarded experts in their fields. Our eight community-based clinics are directed by attorneys with deep experience in their practice areas. Classroom seminars offer students a foundation in law and practice, while hands-on casework builds critical lawyering skills.
