Who’s coming to law school, and why? Welcome to our series meeting incoming Berkeley Law students! Our incoming class comes from all walks of life and all corners of the world, including Angela Jimenez from Los Angeles. Angela spent the last five years working at the US Supreme Court in positions from curatorial intern to Marshal’s Aide to Case Analyst. She went to Cal as an undergraduate majoring in Legal Studies and worked at the Consumer Justice Clinic at the East Bay Community Law Center. She’s now a part of the Berkeley Law Leadership Academy. Why Berkeley Law? I came here for undergrad. Berkeley really taught me to think critically. I like how Berkeley approaches classroom learning, and that we’re learning about the structural impacts of ideas and not just what they are by definition. My major was in Legal Studies, so I was able to take law-specific courses, including one with the Hon. Judge Trina Thompson ‘86. Taking Legal Studies classes exposed me to a lot of legal concepts early on. #BerkeleyLaw #LawSchool #LawStudent
