As UC Berkeley marks America’s 250th birthday by showing the indispensable role of public higher education in American progress, Berkeley Law explores how our community is using the law to help build a more just future. We often hear people say, “Somebody should do something about that.” At Berkeley Law, we know that somebody. At a time when the country and the world face urgent questions about rights, power, technology, inequality, climate, democracy, and the rule of law, the Berkeley Law community — students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners — aren’t waiting for someone else to act. So, what are we up to? Comment or DM to tell us about students, faculty, staff, alumni, clinics, centers, research, public service, advocacy, or ideas that show Berkeley Law’s impact. #America250 #BerkeleyLaw
