King Hall takes enormous pride in the variety and involvement of its student organizations. As students will attest, these organizations are an integral part of a King Hall legal education, providing participants with leadership and community service experience. On any given day, students can expect an organization-sponsored lunchtime speaker or culture week event. See: Student Organizations.
Culture Weeks: Certain student organizations designate an annual culture week of lunchtime activities and programs to educate and discuss important issues. Past culture weeks have addressed topics as diverse as transsexual rights and the state of immigration law after 9/11. Culture weeks often include keynote talks given by experts in the particular area of law, and discussion panels on topics of relevant interest.
Annual Events: King Hall is renowned for its commitment to the public interest, and many student organizations focus on public interest projects. The King Hall Legal Foundation hosts Oktoberfest to raise money for public interest internships. Other annual events include the La Raza Law Student Association’s Day of the Dead and Patiño Banquet celebrations, and the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association’s Karaoke Night. The Lambda Law Students Association hosts barbeques and Feminist Forum hosts mixers throughout the year.
Symposia: The UC Davis Law Review, Journal of International Law and Policy, Business Law Journal, Journal of Juvenile Law and Policy and other journals host symposia on important political and legal topics throughout the year.
