- Frequently Asked Questions at and about King Hall

-
-
- 4.3) THE THIRD YEAR OF LAW SCHOOL AT KING HALL.
-
- 4.3.1) Why is there a third year of law school?
-
- Apparently, to make sure that your second year is not your last year.
- The first year they scare you to death; the second year they work you
- to death; and the third year, they bore you to death. Keep this in
- mind when planning your course schedule.
-
- 4.3.2) What does one do during the third year of law school?
-
- Different people do different things, but most of the time the third
- year of law school is simply a recapitulation of the second year. The
- changing of the guard is effected on Law Review and Moot Court as new
- boards are elected to these programs. Your third year is also a good
- time to do a clinical.
-
- 4.4) LAW STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.
-
- [Note: I have specifically decided against including a list and
- description of the various law student organizations at King Hall.
- You will find such a list and description in the application pamphlet
- that is sent out to prospective law school applicants; readers with a
- web browser may visit the King Hall Student Organizations Web Page on
- the World Wide Web (<http://kinghall.ucdavis.edu/pages/stuorg.htm >).
- Virtually all of the law student organizations at King Hall are
- chartered through the University and funded primarily through the Law
- Student Association (LSA) and bake sales. Each organization defines
- its own purpose, and as each law student organization has an open
- membership, each organization is best defined by those students who
- choose to become its members. One student organization that purported
- to represent a particular ethnic/cultural group held a vote wherein
- two of its members voted to exclude students who were not members of
- that particular ethnic/cultural group. A big controversy erupted when
- the names of the two members so voting were published on the King Hall
- dayboard by one of the members who would have been excluded had the
- vote carried.
- During my tenure as a law student at King Hall, I belonged to a
- number of student organizations that I thought were worthwhile, and I
- served as the Vice President of the King Hall Federalist Society
- (<http://kinghall.ucdavis.edu/stu_org/fed_soc/ >). I also patronized
- all of the fund raising activities and social events that interested
- me without regard for which student organizations were hosting or
- sponsoring it. As a general rule, I think it is foolish to boycott an
- unpopular organization.
-
- 4.5) SERVICES AVAILABLE TO KING HALL STUDENTS.
-
- 4.5.1) SERVICES AVAILABLE TO LAW STUDENTS THROUGH KING HALL.
-
- 4.5.1.1) LIBRARY SERVICES AT KING HALL.
-
- Readers with a web browser may visit the King Hall Law Library Home
- Page on the World Wide Web:
-
- <http://kinghall.ucdavis.edu/library/lawlib.htm >
-
-
- 4.5.1.1.1) What library services are available to law students at King
- Hall?
-
- All King Hall students, faculty, and staff are issued a key to the
- building and have access to the law library (other than the reserve
- section) 24 hours a day. Most books may be checked out to your study
- carrel, which you share with other students until your third year of
- law school. In addition, the law library catalog is available by
- telnet at innopac.ucdavis.edu (<telnet:innopac.ucdavis.edu >; account
- and password=guest). Check with the Law School Library Reference Desk
- at (916)752-3327 for more information on the various library services
- available to King Hall students.
-
- 4.5.1.1.2) What should I do if I encounter trespassers after hours in the
- library at King Hall?
-
- You have many options to deal with trespassers at King Hall, but you
- are not obliged to do anything about them. U.C. Davis is a public
- university, and members of the general public have a right to use the
- facilities at the law school to study or do legal research. However,
- if someone doesn't have a key to King Hall, they don't have a right to
- be in the building after the law library closes.
- The official policy of the law school is that no one without a
- key to the building is allowed to be in King Hall after the law
- library closes, but this policy is not strictly enforced. I always
- treated trespassers as "uninvited guests" and tolerated them unless
- they did something that bothered me. However, if you want trespassers
- to leave, you don't need to give any justification. Simply place a
- call to the campus police, and the campus police will get rid of the
- trespassers very quickly.
-
- 4.5.1.2) Financial Aid.
-
- For information about Financial Aid, contact the King Hall Financial
- Aid Director Lu Bastian (<mailto:lrbastian@ucdavis.edu >) in person
- or at (916)752-6573. She and her staff, currently one Cyndie Alvarez
- Necoechea (<mailto:calvarez@ucdavis.edu >), have my unequivocal
- endorsement.
- Readers with a web browser may visit the Law School Financial Aid
- Home Page on the World Wide Web:
-
- <http://kinghall.ucdavis.edu/pages/financ.htm >
-
-
- 4.5.1.3) Career Services. [Rev]
-
- For information about Career Services, contact the King Hall Career
- Sevices Director Jane Thomson (<mailto:jthomson@ucdavis.edu >) at
- (916)752-6574. See also Section 4.6.5 for information on career
- planning resources on the Internet.
-
- 4.5.1.4) The Perfect Tender Infant Care Co-op.
-
- Student volunteers, some of them parents themselves, staff the Perfect
- Tender Infant Care Co-op, which cares for the infants (under one year)
- of law students.
-
- 4.5.1.5) Computer Services at King Hall.
-
- For information about Computer Services at King Hall, contact Computer
- Specialist Steve Langford (<mailto:sdlangford@ucdavis.edu >) at
- (916)752-SLOW. While no one has all the answers, Steve has more
- answers about computers than most people do, and if he doesn't have
- immediate answers to your computer questions, he will usually be able
- to refer you to someone else who does. See Section 11.2 for more
- information about computer services at King Hall.
-
- 4.5.1.6) Food at King Hall.
-
- Between 9am and Noon during most school days, you stand about a 50/50
- chance of encountering a bake sale downstairs. Similarly on school
- days, you stand about a 1 in 5 chance that some organization is
- offering free food to encourage attendance at one of its meetings. If
- all else fails, there are several vending machines on the bottom floor
- of the law school. Of course you can always brave the elements and
- take a five minute walk to the Silo or the Coffee House. See Section
- 5.1 for more information on food services on the U.C. Davis campus.
-
- 4.5.2) SERVICES AVAILABLE TO LAW STUDENTS THROUGH U.C. DAVIS.
-
- See the U.C. Davis USENET FAQ for information about services available
- to law students through U.C. Davis (see Section 1.5 for information on
- how to obtain the U.C. Davis USENET FAQ).
