Meet Rebecca Cortez, JD, ‘26
Two moments seemed to encapsulate the Stanford Law experience for Rebecca: 1L orientation fountain hopping and admit weekend where she met her best friend.
Working two full-time clinics during her time at Stanford Law (Entrepreneurship Clinic and... Community Law Clinic) supported Rebecca’s learning style and offered a greater understanding of her personal and professional aspirations.
Rebecca joins a law firm in San Francisco practicing executive compensation, a speciality group in the Corporate Law Field.
In a Foreign Affairs analysis, Ben A. Vagle, a Knight-Hennessy scholar and J.D. candidate at Stanford Law School, argues alongside Dartmouth College Professor Stephen G. Brooks that the United States maintains crucial economic advantages over China despite recent setbacks.
The analysis ...emphasizes that Washington's structural leverage stems from China's dependence on the U.S. and its allies for high-tech imports and export markets. The key to wielding this power effectively lies in coordinated economic statecraft with Asian and European allies rather than unilateral action.
Vagle and Brooks underscore that multilateral economic pressure could inflict damage on China's economy five to 11 times greater than on the U.S. economy, provided Washington works with partners to leverage their collective economic weight.

For Brionna Bolaños and Dayle Chung, the Bremond Fellowship offered a chance to pursue racial justice work that was intellectually rigorous and connected to why they came to law school in the first place.
In this video, the Stanford Center for Racial Justice’s most recent Bremond ...Fellows discuss their research on the California Racial Justice Act, sentencing disparities, federalism, immigration enforcement, and the role of courts.
The fellowship, supported by the Wilson Sonsini Foundation, honors Harry Bremond, a trailblazing attorney who joined Wilson Sonsini in 1967 as one of the first Black lawyers in Silicon Valley and helped build the firm’s pro bono program.
