Eudaimoniac Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hey y’all , even though it’s only January, I thought I’d start this thread for us to all panic together waiting for JSP decisions. while you’re here, fell free to drop info about your interests! After all, we may soon be cohort members! Personally, I’m interested in civil rights law and policy, (especially Disability policy) and I’d like to use Sociology to add an extra lens to my work. I also plan to complete my JD while at Berkeley. I’m interested in litigating civil rights cases in addition to studying the structures and circumstances they arise under.

01A Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hi, I just found this thread and am super nervous as well. Do you think we would hear by the 4th of February like in the past few years or would it take longer? If so, we should know in less than a week if it's good news. (Touch wood and fingers crossed) I’m interested in interdisciplinary work concerning human rights, conflict studies, international law and policy. I am going to be looking at war crimes/human rights violations investigations using OSINT tools and am looking at developing methodology around it.

troubadour1 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hey, did anyone hear back this week? Typically it looks like results are in the first week of February so I'm very nervous about not hearing anything. I'm interested in criminal justice issues, with a focus on addressing mass incarceration and excessive criminalisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWitt Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 No word yet - I think that is a bad sign (again) for me. Formal rejections typically land at end of month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimoniac Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Just a heads up, Berkeley JSP students are currently going through the labor contract negotiation process. So I’d be unsurprised if decisions are just going to be later this year. Then again, maybe I got rejected! Lol Time will tell. For now, I recommend we all get some rest and self care. I know that’s what I’ll be up to this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank970701 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I am also feeling very nervous about the result of JSP applicaiton because I have received several rejections of other programs. I am interested in law & society and empirical legal studies. I hope to apply some quantitative or computational methods to explore some issues on law enforcement or other relevant issues on law & society. My research concentration is China so Chinese judicial documents will also be my important data source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscuit592 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Also waiting; I didn't hear anything last week. I'm interested in Law & Political Economy and the way technological changes interact with the development of legal theory. Did folks apply to the JD as well/do we think those results will come out at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimoniac Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Hey y’all! Welcome to academic purgatory. All of the topics here sound really interesting! It’d be great to work with any/all of you. I also applied to the JD, however I’m a “super splitter” so I expect I won’t hear back on that until March-ish. Also, I was wrong about the labor contract- that was agreed upon a few weeks ago. Oops. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troubadour1 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Nothing yet... My only slim hope is no one else has posted an acceptance here yet but seems to be looking very unlikely. Eudaimoniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello1 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I am really wondering, so please post anybody who hears back the acceptance result. Eudaimoniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eudaimoniac Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Another week to wait in! I’m still holding out hope. (Perhaps illogically at this point) Good luck everyone! Tired123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troubadour1 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 For those still anxiously wondering like me, I wrote to the JSP ID to see if I could get some information. This is what they said in response: All applicants should expect to hear back later this month. I don't have much hope, but either way the wait and wondering should end in a few weeks.

apolimscig Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Claiming an acceptance! just got the call. Eudaimoniac and 01A 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimoniac Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) congrats to those who have heard back! No answer for me yet, so probably a rejection. Such is life- I will reapply next cycle! also, just so y’all know, a JSP faculty member passed away last week. Prof. Edelman. Her work upended DEI in the workplace, and it’s a major loss to our field. It seems she had the rare quality of being both a brilliant scholar and a very good person. I’d have very much liked to have met her, as she and I shared subspecialties and quite a few viewpoints. I highly recommend you all read her book “working law”. If you’re going to work in the US, it’s very important to our workplace culture, and is the story of a career well spent https://jsp-ls.berkeley.edu/news/memoriam-lauren-edelman Edited February 16, 2023 by Eudaimoniac Tired123 and 01A 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marielalexx Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 i just got my call on 2/15 with an acceptance! i’m interested in the interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and border culture Eudaimoniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eudaimoniac Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hey all! Just wanted to check in and see how everyone else is hanging in there? I haven’t heard anything myself- And congrats again to those accepted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
