Uniting Leaders in Discussion and Collaboration
With an emphasis on law’s intersection with business, policy and conflict resolution, Stanford Law offers a set of innovative executive education programs that build on the academic excellence, cutting-edge research and multidisciplinary resources of SLS.
For more than two decades, these Executive Education Programs have brought together scholars, policymakers, jurists, corporate leaders, investment bankers, venture capitalists, negotiators, mediators and leaders in the legal community from across the country and internationally. Our approach combines keynote speakers and plenary debates with panel discussions and small-group work, enabling participants to learn by doing, not just listening. Attendees share their expertise and discuss solutions to the most challenging issues facing business executives, policymakers and legal practitioners today. SLS affiliates alumni ensure that programs are grounded in the real world.
