Rock Center Affiliates

The LEB/Rock Center Affiliates contribute through sponsorship and program input on an annual basis and support sustained scholarship, policy relevant research and teaching, and program development that bridges the gap between academia and the real world. In return, affiliates and their clients have access to the Law School's established series of high value, leading edge executive programs, exclusive roundtables, working groups and special events.

As a direct result of affiliate support, Stanford Law School is today a nationally recognized leader in the field of law and business, and has the preeminent law school program for senior executive, director and institutional investor education.
