When using this page to evaluate an attorney who graduated from Berkeley, treat the school as one data point alongside bar status, years of practice, discipline history, practice area alignment, and client references. For students comparing law schools, the alumni-active rate and geographic distribution here reflect outcomes for New York-registered graduates only, consult ABA-required disclosures and the school's own employment reports for complete placement data.
