The others are Boalt Hall at UC Berkeley, King Hall at UC Davis, and Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. A fifth UC law school was launched in 2007 at UC Irvine, but the new Donald Bren School of Law will not start classes until fall 2009.

Degrees and areas of specialization

The school offers the standard Juris Doctor degree as well as several programs of specialization within the degree (which are indicated by notations on a student's diploma). Students can specialize in Business Law and Policy, Entertainment Law, Public Interest Law, Critical Race Studies, and Law and Philosophy. The size of an entering class can range as high as 340 but classes are always divided into sections to encourage development of a sense of community among incoming students.[3] At least one first-year substantive course is always taught in a small section format of only thirty students.[4] J.D. redirects here. ...


The Socratic method is in use by some professors, but most faculty allow for a slightly more relaxed classroom atmosphere than at other top-tier law schools.[5] The school also has traditionally offered a strong clinical program, which is housed in its own wing (built at a cost of $9 million).[6] Each year, the clinical program puts students through realistic simulations of trials, depositions, and client meetings; these are staffed with a pool of nearly 500 volunteers drawn from all over the Southland who play parties, witnesses, judges, and jurors.[7] Socratic Method (or Method of Elenchus or Socratic Debate) is a dialectic method of inquiry, largely applied to the examination of key moral concepts and first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. ...
