New Law Class is Gifted and Diverse

This fall, an academically gifted and diverse group of students began the pursuit of a law degree at King Hall. The Class of 2008, just under 200 students, were selected from a pool of 3,768 applicants.

The class represents a diversity of backgrounds. In addition to degrees in Political Science, History, Psychology, and English, students have bachelor degrees in Biophysics, German, Asian Studies, Engineering, and Art History, to name just a few. Numerous students obtained graduate degrees. Others pursued diverse paths, such as Peace Corps volunteer in Kjiv, Ukraine, army counterintelligence agent, sky diving instructor, and emergency medical technician. Thirty-five percent of the students are people of color.

The UC Davis School of Law is nationally recognized for a uniquely supportive atmosphere for the study of law.  The attrition rate is extremely low. Graduates continually score above the state average of the California Bar Examination. View the complete Student Profile
