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.
