UC Davis School of Law ranked to have the fifth most diverse faculty
Are you deciding where to go for your LL.M.? UC Davis School of Law ranks high in the Princeton Review Diversity Ratings!
UC Davis School of Law has the fifth most diverse faculty and fifth best environment for minority students, according to rankings published in Princeton Review's "The Best 173 Law Schools, 2016 Edition." A summary of the rankings may be viewed on the TaxProf Blog at http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2016/04/princeton-reviews-best-173-law-schools-2016-edition.html
"Most Diverse Faculty" rankings were based on school-reported data regarding faculty diversity as well as students' answers to survey questions regarding whether their school's faculty comprises a broadly diverse group of individuals. "Best Environment for Minority Students" rankings were based on the percentage of minorities in the student body and student responses to a survey question as to whether all students receive equal treatment by fellow students and the faculty, regardless of ethnicity.

UH Law School Given Top 2016 Rankings and Named a “Best” Law School by ‘The Princeton Review’
Included among the nation’s 173 best schools, UH Law School ranked 1st for the ‘Best Environment for Minority Students’; 3rd as the school with the ‘Most Diverse Faculty’; and 4th as the law school ‘Most Chosen by Older Students.’
The UH Law School consistently ranks among the best in the country and among the top 10 schools in each of the above categories. This year the UH Law School ranked even higher than it did a year ago in terms of its diverse faculty and the choice by older students to attend.
Rankings were based on surveys of more than 19,000 law students plus school administrators about academics, student body characteristics, and campus life as well as about themselves and their career plans. The student surveys used for this edition were all completed online at http://survey.review.com (link is external) and conducted during the 2014-15, 2013-14, and 2012-13 academic years.
Richardson Law Dean Avi Soifer said he continues to be gratified at the high ranking Richardson receives in this important national survey, but especially about remarks by students saying, for example, that they “have access to some of the best faculty in the field.” He also reiterates what students emphasized: that Richardson is known for its supportive student body “and very accessible faculty.”
“We pride ourselves on being a close-knit community that works together so that everyone succeeds in our rigorous educational program,” said Soifer. “We also have fun together,” he added, and “the Richardson community really does support one another during law school and long afterwards in many ways, such as assisting one another with varied employment and leadership opportunities.”
The Princeton Review does not rank the law schools within the top 173 nor does it name one law school as best overall. Instead, the book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 law schools in a range of categories.
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior VP-Publisher, "We recommend Richardson Law School as one of the best institutions to earn a law school degree. We chose the 173 schools in this book based on our high regard for their academics and our assessment of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also solicited and greatly respect the opinions of 19,700 students attending these schools who reported on their experiences at their schools on our 80-question student survey for the book."
Richardson Law School is one of those featured in the new 2016 edition of the educational services company’s annual book, "The Best 173 Law Schools” (Penguin Random House / Princeton Review Books, http://www.princetonreview.com/law-school-rankings/best-law-schools The book's two-page school profiles have sections reporting on academics, student life, admissions information, and graduates' employment data.
Of the 11 lists of ranking categories, 10 are based entirely or partly on The Princeton Review's surveys of students attending the schools. A few lists, such as "Best Career Prospects," use both student survey and institutional data. The list, “Toughest to Get Into,” is based solely on institutional data. The Princeton Review explains its methodology for its ranking lists in the book at

UC Davis Bar Exam Information
We recommend that you contact the bar associations in the states where you think you may eventually want to apply. The Web site of the California Bar is http://www.calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_home.jsp and the Web site of the New York bar is http://www.nybarexam.org.http://www.nybarexam.org.
We should note that our LL.M. students have qualified for and passed the Bar in both California and New York!
Decide as an International Lawyer Which LL.M. Program is the Best Fit
Lawyers who are trained abroad but want to
practice in the U.S. typically have a direct path for continuing their
career here: Enroll in a yearlong LL.M. program, a degree option for
lawyers trained in the U.S. or elsewhere to advance their legal
education.
These degree programs can help students interested in specializing in a specific aspect of the law – and for international students, also provide a pathway for eligibility to take state bar exams.
But a quick search on the website for the American Bar Association, which approves law schools and provides resources for lawyers and law students, reveals hundreds of these programs in every region of the country. Some are for lawyers who want to specialize in criminal law or another subfield, while dozens cover the U.S. legal system more generally. With so many options in the District of Columbia, California and states in between, it's easy for prospective LL.M. students to be overwhelmed, especially if they have little or no familiarity with the U.S.
• Bar preparation: A little more than two dozen states allow internationally trained lawyers to sit for a state bar exam, but state rules vary about whether these lawyers must complete additional education at a school approved by the American Bar Association, according to the2014 Bar Admission Requirements from the National Conference of Bar Examiners and American Bar Association. A general LL.M. program can be the first step for an international student to be eligible for a state bar exam.
Certain schools will design the LL.M. curriculum to prepare students for certain state bar exams.
"We provide them with tracks, a track system, so that they can meet the requirements for either the New York bar, the California bar or the Washington, D.C. bar,” says Deborah Call, associate dean of graduate and international programs at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law.
Specialized LL.M. programs, though, may not always help with bar preparation.
"It’s hard sometimes if somebody attends a specialized program where you're only allowed to take tax classes, for example, or only allowed to take intellectual property classes, for example, or health care classes, for example," says Riccardi, whose school offers a more general program as well as opportunities to specialize in topics like taxation or banking and financial law. "State bars and what’s called the multistate bar exam don’t test you on those topics.”
• Program type and classmates: Students who pursue a general program may have a curriculum that's similar to a first-year J.D. student's. LL.M. students who choose a general option may have a broader idea of how U.S. lawyers view the law and make decisions.
"You can see how they’re trained to think," he says. In some instances, LL.M. students may even sit side by side with first-year J.D. students in class. The American Law Program at Boston University, for example, allows students to take classes with their J.D. counterparts.
In these settings, foreign lawyers may learn a whole new way of approaching legal problem-solving. If they want to work in a setting where they interact with U.S. lawyers, that kind of awareness is key, Riccardi says. A specialized program, he says, may be filled with foreign lawyers and may not focus on how American lawyers think.
Some schools also create settings for students to interact with J.D. students outside of class. At the University of Southern California, for example, the international relations student organization pairs J.D. students with LL.M. students based on a common interest, such as golf or swimming, says Call. The student pairs attend events together, such as a movie night, and sometimes the J.D. student may invite the international LL.M. student home for the holidays.

University of Hawaii LLM Students Meet with Brazil's National High Court Justice Antonio Benjamin
Justice Antonio Herman Benjamin of the National High Court of Brazil,
and a renowned leader in the global environmental law community, served
as the International Jurist-in-Residence at the University of Hawai‘i
William S. Richardson School of Law from March 28-April 2, 2016.
Justice
Benjamin spent a busy week giving a public talk on “Emerging
Comparative Environmental Law Trends”, giving lectures and informal
meetings with JD and LLM students, spending time with the Hawai‘i
Supreme Court and the judges of Hawaii’s new Environmental Court,
meeting Governor David Ige and state legislators, and meeting with a
cross-section of Hawaiʻi environmental lawyers.
Justice
Benjamin is the Chair of the World Commission on Environmental Law,
which is one of the six global commissions of the International Union
for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). At the Law School, he conducted
an IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) workshop with
Environmental Law students as they prepare to participate in the IUCN
World Conservation Congress (also known as the “Olympics of
Conservation”) scheduled to be held in Hawai‘i from September 1-10,
2016.
The
IUCN is a global consortium of nations, universities, institutes, and
agencies that are working to find pragmatic solutions for pressing
global environmental and development challenges. The UH Law Schoolʻs
Environmental Law Program was recently admitted as a formal voting
member of the IUCN.
“It
is a genuine honor and pleasure to host a person of Justice Benjamin’s
stature in the field of law and within the global environmental
community,” said Law Dean Avi Soifer. “Our law students and our
community are most fortunate to be able to meet him one-on-one and to
hear his views on vital environmental issues. He is also a global leader
in the growing trend to launch environmental courts as a major step
toward a healthy and sustainable future.”
Justice
Benjamin has had an extraordinary career that has taken him from 20
years of service as Assistant Attorney General of the Brazilian State of
Sao Paulo, as well as head of the Environmental Protection Division for
several years, to international prominence as founding President of
both the Brazilian Consumer Law and Policy Institute and the Law for a
Green Planet Institute.
He
is a former member of Brazil’s Fulbright Alumni Association and a
member of the UN Secretary General Legal Expert Group on Crimes against
the Environment. He is also a professor at the Catholic University of
Brasilia School of Law, and, since 1994, has been a visiting professor
at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin.
Associate
Dean Denise Antolini commented: “Justice Benjamin’s visit to HawaiÊ»i
helps us add a critical global dimension to our perspective on
environmental law issues. He is spearheading an international effort to
support environmental courts and tribunals around the world, and
looking to us in Hawaiʻi as the leader in the U.S. Last May, he helped
to train our Hawaiʻi environmental court judges by providing a video
keynote address. His extraordinary week-long visit to Hawaiʻi, six
months in advance of the World Conservation Congress, helps our
students, faculty, and entire legal community prepare for Hawaiʻiʻs role
on the global stage, not just in September for the IUCN Congress but
for the long-term. We are really delighted and honored to host Justice
Benjamin, one of the worldÊ»s great environmental jurists.”
"Justice Antonio Benjamin chats with LLM students Rico Von Allmen (Switzerland) and Aichatou Kimba (Niger)."
Justice Antonio Benjamin was this year's International Jurist-in-Residence at the University of Hawaii's law school.
