Message from the Assistant Dean of Admission and Financial Aid

Kristen Mercado

At UC Davis School of Law, King Hall, you will find yourself in a diverse and inclusive community of students who challenge convention, champion new ideas, and embrace collaborative learning. Students are competitive with themselves, not one another. Our majority-minority faculty are scholars and teachers who integrate students into their work, providing enrichment opportunities inside and outside the classroom. King Hall alumni are skilled practitioners, community leaders, and sources of support to current students. In short, UC Davis is a place where you can thrive academically, professionally and personally. We hope you will consider joining us.

I encourage you to peruse our website, contact us with questions, visit (virtually, for now), and then apply!

UPDATE  (3/16/20): Based upon updated guidance from public health and campus officials designed to safeguard the health and safety of our campus community, prospective students, and guests, we are making changes to our Visiting King Hall options effective immediately. In addition, the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid is closed to the public and all staff are working remotely. You can contact us by email at admissions@law.ucdavis.edu and we will respond as quickly as we can. Thank you and stay healthy!
