Geetika Jerath ’19 went to law school planning to advise entrepreneurs — and ended up becoming one. “I thought my impact would come from advising founders who were building the next big thing,” she says. “As it turned out, Berkeley Law gave me the education, the experience, and the courage that I’d eventually use to build a company with my co-founder.” That company, @rubilegaltraining, is helping to reshape how a new generation of lawyers is trained.

Professor David Oppenheimer (@thediversitydetective) and a group of J.D. and undergraduate Legal Studies students recently submitted an intervention — the European term for an amicus brief — in a case against the nation of Georgia now before the European Court of Human Rights. Working with a feminist organization in Georgia and the Equality Law Clinic at the Free University of Brussels, the group wrote a brief on behalf of a woman who had been charged with defamation after accusing her supervisor of sexual harassment. “It’s a common problem around the world,” says Oppenheimer, who leads the Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law and is also the co-faculty director of @berkeleylawprobono. He wrote a brief, again with students, in a similar case before the Supreme Court of Japan in 2021. His most recent book, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘢, was published earlier this year.
