I think they are trying to become known as Berkeley Law rather than Boalt Hall. If you look on their website, they clearly refer to themselves as Berkeley Law. http://www.law.berkeley.edu/about.htmcanes wrote:with such a long name, what do you think is the most appropriate way to work the name into an essay?

Yea I know what you mean. It sucks that Berkeley's official name is so long lol. I definitely think you should go with Berkeley Law for the rest of it though, regardless if you decide to go with the full title the first time.canes wrote:Thanks...
