The UC Berkeley Center for Consumer Law & Economic Justice, housed at Berkeley Law, works to establish equity and fairness in the marketplace. Through research, advocacy, policy, and teaching, the Center strives to develop and apply robust consumer protection laws in places and among people where those laws haven't been used before, and to create a society in which economic, racial, and social justice are available to all.

The Center believes that building economic justice means developing and enforcing laws that fight fraud and deception, that protect low‑income communities and communities of color, and that promote financial security and empowerment. Our activities always highlight the interests and experiences of vulnerable consumers, including immigrants, survivors of domestic violence & elder abuse, people impacted by the criminal legal system, and others.
