The UC Davis School of Law consistently draws faculty and students passionate about leveraging legal expertise to combat inequality and assist vulnerable populations, including low-income individuals, people with disabilities, consumers, seniors, and those facing systemic barriers to justice. Renowned for upholding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s principles of social equity and civic engagement, the institution has honored his legacy since 1969 when its main building was dedicated in his name. Throughout its history, King Hall's Public Interest Law specialization has remained a cornerstone of the law school's distinguished reputation.
This specialized program prepares students for careers in public service and government while exploring diverse legal strategies to advocate for marginalized populations.
Through its Public Service Law Certificate Program, the law school supports students dedicated to community service, offering both academic recognition and financial assistance for graduates entering public interest fields. Participants must fulfill 15 credits of approved public service coursework and complete at least 175 hours of legal work with qualifying organizations. Financial support options encompass the comprehensive Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP), covering educational debts from all levels of study, along with the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) alternative.
