Who’s coming to law school, and why? Welcome back to our series meeting incoming Berkeley Law students! Our new class comes from all walks of life and all corners of the world, including Gillian Katsumi from Long Island, NY. Gillian has lived in Washington, DC for the past six years. She has experience in the international humanitarian space, managed various USAID contracts, and worked for an early-stage charity tech startup. Q: Why law school? Why now? A: I’m really interested in the intersection of law & economics. That’s kind of what I studied in undergrad and what I did in my work in international development. I’m really excited to pursue consumer law and maybe even antitrust while I’m here. Q: Why Berkeley Law? A: One of my main reasons for coming to Berkeley is the strong consumer law program. Berkeley also has such a strong emphasis on public service and that’s something I’m really interested in pursuing. So it seemed like a great fit. #BerkeleyLaw #LawSchool #LawStudent

Berkeley Law recently turbo-charged its status as a haven for top work law scholarship and research with three consecutive days of robust conferences that welcomed some of the field’s preeminent voices. Coordinated by Professors Catherine Fisk ’86 and Diana Reddy Ph.D. ’23, co-faculty directors of the school’s Center for Law and Work (CLAW), the gatherings Sept. 17-19 confronted unionization and collective bargaining, wage and hour compliance, employee misclassification, paid leave, discrimination, accommodation, and plenty more. “Work law is once again recognized as central to questions of inequality, democracy, and freedom,” says Reddy, who represented labor unions and workers before entering academia. “Good jobs are a driver of just about every other social good you can imagine."
