The UC Berkeley School of Law is indisputably one the nation鈥檚 most respected centers of legal education. Students praise the breadth of the specialized courses in areas such as 鈥渋ntellectual property/technology law, environmental law, entertainment, and human rights鈥� and say their time at Berkeley Law 鈥渉asn鈥檛 always been easy by any means鈥� but they are 鈥渟urrounded by the top academics in their fields of expertise [who] are not only great professors but great human beings.鈥� One student notes, however, that Berkeley Law鈥檚 desire to 鈥済et profs with fancy accomplishments鈥� doesn鈥檛 always translate to better courses: 鈥淚 much prefer a better classroom environment and ease of learning over 鈥榩restige.鈥欌�� Outside the classroom, 鈥渢here are a lot of experiential learning opportunities (e.g. clinics, externships, and skills courses) and [if] a student has a genuine interest in doing focused research, he or she can often find faculty to work with on an independent project.鈥� Berkeley Law has nearly a dozen journals and unlike at most law schools, all of them (except for the Law Review) are open membership and students are allowed to participate immediately. While 鈥渢he school does provide tremendous opportunity for 1Ls to get involved through journals and other groups,鈥� 1Ls don鈥檛 participate in 鈥渃linics鈥� the way the term is traditionally used in a law school setting. Instead, 1Ls may take part in 鈥淪tudent-Initiated Legal Services Projects (SLPS) through which students do legal work under the direction of attorney (rather than professor) supervision.鈥� Upperclassmen praise Berkeley Law鈥檚 鈥渟trong public-interest law community, excellent clinical offerings, and great access to [the] Bay Area legal market鈥� but say that 鈥渙ften students must show initiative to take full advantage.鈥�
Professors at Berkeley Law are, for the most part, 鈥渋ncredible鈥� and 鈥渁ccommodating,鈥� and 鈥渆ven the older professors鈥攚ho tend to have more traditional styles鈥攊mpart progressive views and attitudes about the law.鈥� Other students say the school鈥檚 professors are 鈥渘ot great,鈥� even 鈥渃old鈥�; they say that while 鈥減rofessors are certainly brilliant, they are not good teachers.鈥� While some students praise Berkeley Law鈥檚 pass/fail grading system for cutting down on law school鈥檚 inherent cutthroat attitude, others lament that 鈥済iving 60 percent of the class the same grade (P for 鈥榩ass鈥�) diminishes the incentive for people not to completely check out once they have a job. The grading system is not informative enough. The lowest score in the class gets the same grade as several above-average scores.鈥� Students who describe their professors as 鈥渢op-notch鈥� say that the faculty 鈥済enuinely care[s] about their students and make time to help them with questions both related to the course and issues outside the scope of the class.鈥� Classrooms at Berkeley Law are 鈥渁wesome and newly renovated鈥� and 鈥渁fter the renovation, [Boalt鈥檚] exterior isn鈥檛 amazing, but it is pretty nice.鈥� The resources at a school like Berkeley Law are, as expected, world-class, and the library has research librarians who 鈥渁re passionate and proud of what they do and look forward to helping students and make themselves available.鈥�
The administration, according to some, 鈥渋s highly responsive and that might be largely due to the fact that students are incredibly involved in school policy decisions.鈥� Others say, 鈥淭he administration seems disorganized and not very communicative. I have no idea what to do most of the time.鈥� Some students would like more administrative support when it came to career counseling, particularly 鈥渟etting up field placements (i.e. externships, study abroad, and [the] UC-DC program). Right now, the process is largely left up to the students.鈥�

Students are split on whether their fellow Berkeley attendees are 鈥渋ncredibly friendly鈥� and 鈥渕utually supportive of each other鈥� or if they are 鈥渉ighly competitive and egotistical,鈥� with a 鈥渢endency to [err] on the side of [being] overly politically correct.鈥� While there鈥檚 no doubt that the school leans left鈥攊ts progressive values are not in doubt鈥攕ome express concern that 鈥渟tudents who are just average liberal to conservative often feel ridiculed for their ideologies.鈥� Students live in various spots in the surrounding region, which 鈥渓imits the social life,鈥� making it so that 鈥渃lubs and organizations are the backbone of student life. . . . Students are extremely active in clubs because that鈥檚 necessary to make friends.鈥� Even with the rigors of law school, students find time to unwind, with 鈥渂eer Olympics, organized cabin weekend trips to Tahoe, party buses to Napa, bar crawls in San Francisco, (also taco crawls in San Francisco, which are BOMB).鈥� Students also underscore that 鈥渟ocial justice is not a fringe thing鈥� at Berkeley Law.
