Who’s coming to law school, and why? Welcome to our series meeting incoming UC Berkeley Law students! Our incoming class comes from all walks of life and all corners of the world, including Maggie King, rising 1L moving to Berkeley from Fairbanks, Alaska. Maggie’s path began with a powerful lesson from her mother: the value of a life spent in service. Maggie has experiences that range from successful lobbying efforts for carbon pricing to teaching courses on climate advocacy. At Berkeley Law, she wants to use the law to advocate for a healthy environment for future generations. Don’t miss what’s next!
