Founded in 2016, the UC San Diego Krinsk-Houston Law & Politics Initiative creates a premier pre-law experience that matches the ambitions and talents of UC San Diego's students. This experience includes student instruction, partnerships with local law schools to support our pre-law students, and rich community engagement.

The Initiative brings law school faculty, practicing attorneys, and judges into the classroom to teach classes that give students the skills that they need to succeed both in law school and in legal careers, and the exposure to succeed in related professions.

The Initiative also provides students, regardless of their financial need, with support to take part in internships in Washington, D.C., Sacramento, and San Diego.
