About the Lawyer

Founded in 1966 in an effort to inform Stanford Law alumni about faculty scholarship and School and alumni news, Stanford Lawyer has developed over the past thirty-plus years into a highly respected and anticipated professional school magazine.

With a circulation of more than 15,000, Stanford Lawyer offers its readers articles featuring nationally and internationally known alumni, as well as stories about alumni who are making a real difference behind the scenes; faculty opinion about the most pressing legal issues of the day; the latest news of the School; and—of particular interest to alumni—reams of class notes.

In addition to Stanford Law alumni and friends, Stanford Lawyer readers include members of the judiciary and the media, non-Stanford attorneys, and legal scholars worldwide.

Issues of Stanford Lawyer since Fall 1999 are available online. Issues since 1966 are available on microfiche through William S. Hein & Co., Inc., 1285 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14209-1987.
