UC Davis consistently has been ranked among the top ten public universities by U.S. News and World Report and is listed as 6th in public schools making an impact according to the Princeton Review. As of 2025, UC Davis was named the most sustainable campus in North America by the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings for 10 consecutive years. The campus is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, one of just 71 institutions of higher learning to be admitted to this distinguished group.

Unlike many law schools, whose facilities are located apart from the main campus, UC Davis School of Law is located on the UC Davis campus, affording students the benefits and opportunities that are a part of a vibrant college community.

At the School of Law, the lively and energetic student body enjoys a wide variety of student-run events. They include:

King Hall Sports Leagues

King Hall students gather together on Friday afternoons to play softball and throughout the year to compete at the on-campus bowling alley. No experience is necessary!

Steve Boutin Invitational Golf Tournament

Supporters of King Hall, including faculty, alumni, students, and friends take part in this annual benefit event for the King Hall Legal Foundation. All skill levels are welcome!

Aokirama

Alumni regularly note the Aokirama talent show as one of their fondest memories of King Hall. Every spring semester, students, administration, and faculty entertain the audience with improv, singing, dancing, and music acts. Aokirama is a great way to showcase the unique talents of both the professors and students of King Hall!

King Hall Legal Foundation Annual Auction

The KHLF Spring Charity Auction began as a small affair, drawing a small, dedicated group of students, faculty and staff supporters. Since then, the auction has become an important King Hall tradition and a major source of funding for King Hall students dedicated to the public interest.

Student Organization Banquets

Each year, our student-led organizations put forth a huge effort in planning, promoting and executing some of the most anticipated events of the year. Banquets are whole community events where we get dressed up and gather together to honor and celebrate the 3Ls in these organizations as they enter the next chapter of their lives and careers. There is food, music, dancing, inspirational speeches, performances, and family. Banquets are routinely held by our Latinx Law Student Association, Black Law Students Association, Filipinx Law Students Association, Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian Law Student Association, and more.

Student Organizations

Over 30 student organizations and six student-run journals give King Hall students the opportunity to get involved in extracurricular activities and explore varied interests. More information at the student organizations website.
