For over four decades, UC Davis School of Law has maintained a strong dedication to human rights and social justice, a tradition that began when students and faculty advocated to name the law building after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Since its founding, King Hall has earned recognition for graduating exceptional lawyers who leverage legal expertise to foster societal equity.
The Human Rights and Social Justice Law program at UC Davis School of Law addresses contemporary societal challenges through legal education. The curriculum examines how legislation concerning race, gender, socioeconomic status, and sexuality shapes individual lives, institutional development, cultural norms, and economic systems. King Hall boasts a distinguished faculty of globally recognized scholars devoted to excellence in legal instruction. The law school provides an extensive selection of courses covering diverse human rights and social justice areas such as civil liberties, disability advocacy, educational law, gender studies, and migration policies.
UC Davis School of Law emphasizes hands-on legal training for its students. Through acclaimed clinical programs and externships, students gain practical experience addressing matters like domestic abuse, immigration cases, civil liberties infringements, and other legal concerns. The Immigration Law Clinic, Civil Rights Clinic, and Family Protection and Legal Assistance Clinic enable students to assist clients who lack financial resources for legal services. Additional educational opportunities include involvement in student groups and law journals, with approximately 40 organizations and five academic publications available.
