1) Legal Studies Website
Legal Studies Website
Our website has lots of great info regarding how our courses count towards the major and how the law-related courses count towards the major.
There is also info regarding things like Study Abroad and UCDC and Honors Research.
If you're wondering about what a specific Legal Studies class entails, you can usually find a past syllabus to look at on our website.
Go to our website rather than looking at the Berkeley Academic Guide.

4) Political Ed Series
Political Ed Series
My name is Erin, and I am honored to serve as a Policy Fellow with the Berkeley Underground Scholars. Alongside my team of policy fellows, we have been working hard to develop a Virtual Political Education Series that we are excited to share with you. This series is designed to help us all become more informed and confident voters as we approach the upcoming elections on November 5th.
