Overview

Stanford Law prepares students to go wherever the law leads them, around the globe and into any of the countless fields law shapes, from economics to the environment, public policy to public service. Our updated curriculum, rich in interdisciplinary offerings, reflects the evolving world of law and the diverse careers our alumni undertake. Skill-building experiences and teamwork courses address the demands lawyers—whether entrepreneurs or working in today's large firms—face from their first day on the job: solving problems, specializing, collaborating. Opportunities for hands–on practice—from nine clinics to overseas externships—sharpen skills, cultivate perspective, and open students' eyes to the many possibilities beyond law school.

That's why you'll find Stanford Law alumni at work from Chicago to Singapore, the European Union to the Washington, D.C., beltway, Wall Street to Silicon Valley. You'll also find them wherever people need lawyers with the intelligence, leadership skills, values, perspective, and passion to make a difference: in top–100 firms and international human rights organizations, leading high–tech start–ups and governments, pioneering new legal frontiers and mentoring tomorrow's lawyers.
