	Academic Liberty and Free Speech at Boalt Hall Petition
		We, the undersigned students and alumni of the Boalt Hall School of Law, put forth this petition to express our concern about the growing threat to academic liberty and free speech at our institution.
		More recently, a group of Boalt students has called for Professor John C. Yoo to repudiate a January 2002 memorandum, written while he was a Deputy Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel.
		The Academic Liberty and Free Speech at Boalt Hall Petition to Interim Dean Robert Berring, Assistant Dean Victoria Ortiz, and Dean Christopher Edley was created by and written by Nicholas Ganjei.

		The UC Berkeley School of Law, commonly referred to as Boalt Hall, is one of 14 schools and colleges at the University of California, Berkeley.
		Boalt Hall is consistently regarded both as one of the top 10 law schools and the top public law school in the country.
		The School was originally located in Boalt Memorial Hall of Law, built in 1911 with funds largely from Elizabeth Josselyn Boalt donated in memory of her late husband, John Henry Boalt.

	U.C. Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law Profile
		Boalt's grading system has been controversial since its origins over thirty years ago, with opponents stating that it hurts Boalt students by being hard for employers to understand and hurts Boalt's best in their hunt for judicial clerkships.
		The prestige of a Boalt degree coupled with strong job prospects for graduates are seen as the strongest counter arguments to changing a grading system that is viewed as the primary reason for Boalt's relaxed environment and is conducive to the sharing of knowledge and student camaraderie.
		Boalt's continued excellence in IP seems assured in the wake of recent faculty hiring, expanded class and clinical offerings, and the strengthening partnership between the law school and the legal community of Silicon Valley.

		Boalt Hall has over 1,000 students and 300 faculty and staff members, providing the school's Information Systems and Technology department with a steady flow of technical requests, ranging from printer problems to lost passwords.

		Former gubernatorial candidate Arianna Huffington and a few dozen UC Berkeley law students rallied at Boalt Hall School of Law yesterday, decrying $5,000 in proposed fee increases and the law school's slumping rankings at the Boalt Hall School of Law yesterday afternoon.
		The students said the fee hikes were closely linked with Boalt Hall's slip in the U.S. News & World Report rankings from 10th to 13th this year.

	11.16.2006: Boalt Hall prof explores changing demographics of police
		Co-organizing this unlikely meeting of minds was David Sklansky, a Boalt Hall professor whose interest in the convergence of policing and democracy straddles a traditional divide between social science and legal studies.
		An expert in criminal law, procedure, and evidence, he joined the Boalt faculty in 2005 after a seven-year stint as assistant U.S. attorney in Los Angeles and a decade as a UCLA law professor.
		Yet his study of U.S. criminal law — whose evolution in recent decades, he says, has been deeply influenced by "the intuition that the police need to be restrained in order to make their activities consistent with a democratic society" — drew Sklansky into the gravitational field of the social sciences.

	Hoover Institution - Policy Review - Diversity On Trial
		As a public institution, part of the University of California at Berkeley, Boalt is subject to the provisions of California’s Proposition 209, the ballot initiative passed in 1996 that banned preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
		You see, at Boalt — or at least to the vocal liberal thought-police of students who think that they must police the law school for signs of intellectual heresy and conservatism — the only thing that the great lawyers do of value is push the envelope of civil liberties law.
		One of the most powerful and destructive tools in silencing dissenting voices at Boalt is the casual use of various "isms." I am continually amazed by how easily certain students at Boalt will use one of their classmate’s particular comments or political beliefs, without more context, in order to label them racist or sexist.

	COMMENTARY
		Ten years ago, Boalt cost only a third of the top privates, and I regularly see alumni who, a generation ago, got three years of a world-class legal education for a total of $750.
		The conclusion I've reached, at least for Boalt, is that we need a "burden-sharing" strategy, in which we persuade alumni and other private donors that our mission warrants their support — their investment — in creating leaders and solving problems that matter.
		Boalt is probably typical of UC in that a decent proportion of alumni do contribute, but in amounts that are dwarfed by private competitors.

	Silence at Boalt Hall: PREFACE
		I was among the last beneficiaries of affirmative action at Boalt Hall–the prestigious law school at the University of California at Berkeley.
		For thirty years, Boalt had used affirmative action to admit others like me–historically underrepresented minorities–who were capable of succeeding in law school but were not able to survive the extremely competitive admissions process.
		In my three years at Boalt, I watched the law school as it was forced to dismantle its affirmative action program–a program from which I had benefited–and I watched the numbers of minority students plummet.

	Silence at Boalt Hall: The Dismantling of Affirmative Action Academe - Find Articles
		Silence at Boalt Hall: The Dismantling of Affirmative Action is primarily about how Boalt Hall, the prestigious law school at the University of California, Berkeley, and its students of color, sought to save affirmative action in the mid-1990s.
		Part history of affirmative action at Boalt Hall, part analysis of important affirmative action cases and key policy initiatives in California, and part defense of affirmative action, this book is worth reading even though Andrea Guerrero's arguments for affirmative action are not overly original.
		This story is made more credible by the fact that Guerrero was an active participant in the events at Boalt Hall, and more poignant by the fact that she was among the last beneficiaries of affirmative action at the law school.

		Boalt Hall only seeks to solicit funding from private donors to supplement the funds Berkeley currently receives from the state rather than switching to a model that relies solely on private funds.
		Edley also wants potential donors to feel confident that the money donated to Boalt Hall will stay at the school, rather than be siphoned off to other departments in Berkeley, or other parts of the UC system, he said in the interview with the paper.
		Boalt Hall, ranked 13th this year, is down from seventh a year ago.

		Boalt has joined a number of U.S. law schools in stepping forward to offer assistance by accepting into our community and our classes a limited number of students from Tulane and Loyola for the fall semester.
		Boalt is also considering other ways our community may be able to assist the student visitors, such as with housing, books, etc.
		I hope Boalt alumni realize that Boalt's got a big heart and is ready to step up to the plate when disaster hits.

	CSU \| Academic Senate \| Resolutions \| AS-2393-97/AA - Admissions Practices at Boalt Hall (University of California, ...
		RATIONALE: Boalt Hall (the law school of the University of California, Berkeley) uses an admission procedure (see attached) that automatically adds to or subtracts from the GPA of applicants for admission based on the average relationship between the GPA of all applicants from that institution and the LSAT scores of all applicants from that institution.
		This procedure may, therefore, work a serious disadvantage to California residents even though Boalt Hall is a state-supported institution.
		This resolution requests Boalt Hall to reconsider this practice, and failing that, requests the Chancellor of the CSU to meet with the Chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley with the object of ending this practice.

		Her writing eschews ideological hyperbole and throughout remains grounded in the real issues affecting the greater population by a lack of diversity in law schools and the law community at large.
		She concludes that the new policy has been a disaster for the educational quality of the school, which greatly benefits from the presence of a wide range of backgrounds and experiences among its students.
