Come along with a group of incoming 1Ls as they complete a scavenger hunt during Berkeley Law’s Pre-Orientation Program. Mariah Stennis, who earned a Bachelor’s degree in Legal Studies at Berkeley in 2024, says the scavenger hunt “gives students the opportunity to learn more about the Berkeley community and some of the history.” “It’s a great way to learn about campus but also to make bonds with people you’re going to school with. Berkeley is a big campus and there’s a lot of different areas on campus that you can explore — the law school is only one part.” #BerkeleyLaw #UCBerkeley Video Description: A group of incoming law students tour the UC Berkeley campus during a scavenger hunt, taking photos and exploring university landmarks.

In 2016, Berkeley Law’s Policy Advocacy Clinic (PAC) released its first report on the harms of fines and fees in the juvenile court system — a narrow snapshot looking just at Alameda County. A decade later, the sweep of the clinic’s influence, in partnership with a spectrum of partner groups, local clients, and legislators, is national. Eighteen states no longer charge any youth fees or fines, and reforms are on the table in several others. According to data the clinic gathered from reform states, juvenile courts no longer charge youth and families more than $61 million in fees each year, and they have discharged a staggering $783 million in debt. Read more about how a number of PAC students have continued to work on the issue since graduation — either with nonprofit advocacy groups or back in the clinic itself in the full article.
