Student Life
At Stanford Law, we follow our own approach to legal education. Academic pressure gives way to true intellectual stimulation. Competition becomes collaboration. Mentors become friends. And learning law becomes an enlightening, enriching, inspiring experience.
We dedicate our resources to a single mission: to make the three years that students spend immersed in the study of law the best experience possible.

Office of Accessible Education
The Office of Accessible Education (OAE) at Stanford University has a strong commitment to maintaining a diverse and stimulating academic community. Students with disabilities, actively participating in the various aspects of life at Stanford, are an essential part of that diversity. So that all students at Stanford have an equal opportunity for personally and academically rewarding experiences, the OAE provides a wide array of accommodations, support services, auxiliary aids and programs to remove barriers to full participation in the life of the University.
Munger Graduate Residence
Made possible with a generous gift from Charles T. Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, and his wife Nancy Munger (BA ’45), the Munger Graduate Residence is a new concept in interdisciplinary living and learning at Stanford University. A five-building housing complex, the Munger Residence was designed—with the direct input of students—specifically for Stanford Law and Stanford University graduate students. It is the very best in campus housing design.
