This week Berkeley Law welcomed new students—325 J.D.s, 250 LL.M.s, and XX Ph.D. in Jurisprudence and Social Policy.
During Thursday's formal orientation program for the J.D. students, Judge Thelton E. Henderson '62 delivered the Oath of Professionalism. Professor Emeritus Bob Berring '74—who started law school at Berkeley Law, transferred in his 2L year to Harvard Law, then transferred back for 3L and spent the majority of his professional career teaching here—explained the many ways this law school is special.
Stay tuned for an article coming soon about the many reasons you should be very proud of today's Berkeley Law students.
