During a year that saw the rule of law increasingly threatened all over the world, Berkeley Law’s commitment to excellence, community, public mission, and leadership was on full display. From extensive pro bono work and influential policy guidance to new clinics and groundbreaking research to school record figures in job placement success and first-year J.D. class credentials, the school enjoyed a remarkable 2025. The energy, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to justice generated by Berkeley Law students, faculty, staff, and alumni surface regularly in the nearly 100 news articles and 50 Spotlight items that appeared on our homepage this year. Here are a dozen of them that provide just a sampling of the school’s innovative environment and collaborative culture. Tap the link in bio for a recap of these articles. #BerkeleyLaw #YearinReview
