Renowned for its environmental science leadership, UC Davis School of Law maintains its position as one of America's premier legal institutions. King Hall students frequently leverage these distinctive advantages by pursuing the Environmental and Natural Resources Law concentration. The program at UC Davis goes beyond teaching existing statutes, encouraging students to critically examine the forces influencing legal evolution. This comprehensive curriculum equips future lawyers for diverse environmental law careers, spanning litigation, corporate dealings, and policy development.
The law school excels at providing hands-on legal training through various initiatives. Students participate in environmental moot court competitions and negotiation contests, while externship opportunities with government agencies, nonprofits, and private practices offer real-world exposure.
Beyond coursework, students enrich their legal education through student groups, journal work, and event coordination. Environmental law enthusiasts benefit particularly from involvement with the Agricultural Law Society, Environmental Law Society, annual Environmental Law Symposium, Environs publication, Environmental Law and Policy Journal, and the California Environmental Law & Policy Center (CELPC) - a hub for environmental research and innovative projects.
