On Give Day, your donation goes farther due to the generous challenge gifts provided by many King Hall alum who want to pay it forward.
Every gift, no matter what size, has an impact on the School of Law’s ability to provide the best in legal education.
- The King Hall Scholarship Fund rewards excellence and helps keep King Hall accessible to students of all backgrounds. In fact, The National Jurist ranked us as the No. 2 most diverse law school.
- The King Hall Annual Fund supports Public Interest externships, the UC Davis Law Review Symposium the Neumiller Moot Court Competition, and more. These experiential learning opportunities help students succeed after graduation.
- The Immigration Law Clinic, one of the first of its kind in the nation, allows faculty and students to provide urgently needed assistance to the immigrant community at this critical time.
- Help us pay tribute to the life work of our beloved faculty members who have shaped the King Hall community for generations of students by contributing to the Floyd Feeney Scholarship Fund or Rex R. Perschbacher Scholarship Fund.
- Alumni who donate to Class Gifts continue a strong tradition of inclusion and support.
When you support the School of Law, you join an active community dedicated to raising the bar and using the power of law to create positive change inspired by the ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Professor Perschbacher joined the King Hall community as a Professor of Law in 1981. His scholarship focused on Civil Procedure, Professional Responsibility and Clinical Legal Education. He received the law school’s Distinguished Teaching Award in 1992, and a Special Citation Affirmative Action and Diversity Achievement Award in 2001. He held the Daniel J. Dykstra Endowed Chair, and was Director of Clinical Legal Education, before he retired in 2016.
He was Dean of UC Davis School of Law from 1998-2008, during which time he grew and diversified the faculty and devised an ambitious, ultimately successful plan to renovate and expand King Hall. Construction on the project, begun while he was Dean in 2007, was completed in 2010.
Our first challenge of the day is for $10,000 in memory of Professor Floyd Feeney, well known for his kindness as a mentor and his expertise as a professor of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure. Join us today and support his challenge!
