Rule of Law Program

Projects

  • Founded in 2007 as a student-driven initiative, the Afghanistan Legal Education Project at Stanford Law School (ALEP) develops innovative legal curricula to help Afghanistan’s universities train the next generation of lawyers and leaders. ALEP has developed an extensive law curriculum at the American University of Afghanistan with strong support from INL/State Department.

  • The Stanford Law School Bhutan Law & Policy Project (BLPP) provides an opportunity for SLS students to engage in the legal development process of Bhutan, a country that seeks to emerge from isolation and develop economically while maintaining its cultural values. This project is not currently recruiting.

  • Launched in 2012, the Iraq Legal Education Initiative (ILEI) is a partnership between Stanford Law School and the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani. The project will provide opportunities for students to be involved in some of the very first legal analyses of recently updated Iraqi laws.

  • RLDP was initially conceived among a group of 12 students from the Class of 2014 who share an interest in African governance and development, and are passionate about several issues related to those themes. We rallied around Rwanda for a number of reasons, and we spent several months learning about its history, governance, economic and legal development as we discussed different potential project models.

  • Launched in March 2010, the Timor-Leste Legal Education Project (TLLEP) is a partnership between The Asia Foundation (TAF) and Stanford Law School, funded by USAID. TLLEP provides accessible, dynamic educational textbooks to help build knowledge in Timorese universities, government institutions, and non-governmental organizations.
