One thing that really stood out to me is that Berkeley Law was the only school I applied to that doesn’t require an application fee for transfers, which is awesome. It also has an organization dedicated to supporting transfers, Transfers at Berkeley Law. Our first few weeks they had an open house on Zoom and we all got to ask questions and get to know one-another. So we all kind of felt like our own “mod,” like they have for 1Ls. We had that instant community. I think that’s really indicative of what Berkeley is like and the support you get here. Read more>>
