Stanford Law School (also known as Stanford Law or SLS) is a graduate school at Stanford University located in the area known as the Silicon Valley, near Palo Alto, California in the United States. The Law School was established in 1893 when former President Benjamin Harrison joined the faculty as the first professor of law. It employs more than 50 faculty and hosts over 500 students who are working towards their Juris Doctor (J.D.) or other graduate legal degrees such as the Master of Laws (LL.M.) and the Doctor of the Science of Law (J.S.D.), giving it the smallest student body of any law school in the top 25 of the U.S. News & World Report annual ranking.

With a small average class size of just 170, Stanford Law School has been ranked in the top three in the U.S. News & World Report overall rankings of law schools since 1992. Stanford Law School was ranked second in 1999/2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2009 behind Yale Law School and third in 2005, 2006, and 2010 behind Yale and Harvard Law Schools. SLS is considered particularly prestigious in the spaces of Intellectual Property and Constitutional Law, and maintains the nation's first Supreme Court litigation clinic. With Yale, it recently enacted "grade reform," eliminating traditional letter grades for students.

Stanford Law graduates include several of the first women to occupy Chief Justice or Associate Justice posts on supreme courts: current Chief Justice of New Zealand Sian Elias, retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and the late Chief Justice of Washington Barbara Durham. Other justices of supreme courts who graduated from Stanford Law include the late Chief Justice of the United States William Rehnquist, current Montana Supreme Court Justice Brian Morris, retired Chief Justice of California Ronald M. George, retired California Supreme Court Justice Carlos R. Moreno, and the late California Supreme Court Justice Frank K. Richardson.

Stanford Law School Video

just another one of the chapters from the DVD called "All About Law School". I personally enjoyed most of the chapters in this DVD. A few were a bit more entertaining (comedic) than informational . . .but that was usually a welcome change in pace. I give it 'two thumbs up.'

This is pretty cool. I just purchased it for $19 . . . We'll see if this helps me prepare for law school. I heard from a friend that its good for those who haven't been to law school but are thinking about it. . . moreso than for those who are already in a JD program.

In Kingpin, he pours his unmatched access and expertise into book form for the first time, delivering a gripping cat-and-mouse narrative—and an unprecedented view into the twenty-first century's signature form of organized crime. More information on the book is available at kingpin.cc About Kevin Poulsen: Kevin Poulsen is a former computer hacker, whose best known hack involved penetrating telephone company computers in the early 1990s to win radio station phone-in contests.
