The University of California, Berkeley removed the legend "Boalt Hall" from the facade of its main law school building Thursday, severing an association dating back more than 100 years. In 1951, the school moved to a larger facility and the regents changed the school's name to the UC Berkeley School of Law from the School of Jurisprudence. The name Boalt Hall was given to the main classroom wing of the law school but for decades many of its students and graduates referred to the entire school as Boalt Hall. However, in accordance with the vote to strip the name, the committee recommended that the law school "present the relevant history as part of a commitment to restorative justice." The law school complex includes three other buildings -- Simon Hall, North Addition, and South Addition.
