Stanford Law School is revolutionizing legal education, responding to the changing world in which lawyers today operate.  Understanding the fundamentals of law and learning to "think like a lawyer" are important and remain the very heart of what it is to be a lawyer.  At their best, lawyers are problem-solvers, and today's problems—whether in the public or private sector—require skills beyond those taught in the traditional legal curriculum.  Through interdisciplinary education and our experiential learning opportunities, Stanford Law students can explore the many ways law intersects with other fields.  These opportunities, and more broadly, Stanford Law School’s strength and agility, are possible because of the generous investment made in the school by alumni and friends.

Our mission is to educate the next generation of lawyers and leaders. We are deeply committed to making SLS accessible to all qualified applicants, irrespective of their financial means.  Our clinical program is a valued part of the school’s curriculum, with more than 70% of law students enrolling in a clinic.  Maintaining our diverse student body and strong clinical program are the school's highest priorities.  We are grateful for the support we receive from the school's alumni and friends, which make possible our success.
