UC Davis School of Law has a longstanding commitment to public service and encourages each student to explore opportunities for service throughout their law school experience. Named for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., UC Davis School of Law strives to uphold the ideals of justice and excellence in service. The King Hall community displays a strong desire to advance the public good, evidenced in multiple service-focused students groups, events and symposiums on public service related topics, and high enrollment in clinics, externships and certificate programs. Graduates leave King Hall prepared to further the causes that inspired them to come to law school.
The Career Services Office is an excellent resource to all students who would like to become more involved in, or who have already made a commitment to public service. Throughout the year, emails and newsletters provide important resources and alert students about opportunities to attend PIPS Day, conferences, workshops, panel discussions, information sessions, and networking events. Career Services is always happy to provide information on relevant classes, clinics, externships, funding resources for public interest summer positions, and student organizations with related goals and interests.
