Through Stanford's diverse legal clinics, students and professors provide services to people who otherwise couldn't get them. These experiences also serve as a bridge between the classroom and real-world cases involving fundamental rights and vital public issues - often inspiring a commitment to ongoing public service.

Students provide inmates, some on death row, with legal services to aid the appeals process.

In this small but hard-working clinic, students prosecute cases at the San Jose Superior Court under the guidance of Santa Clara County prosecutors and faculty supervisors.

This clinic is pioneering an area of law that is largely without precedent, conducting computer- and Internet-related litigation, policy research, and advocacy.

Environmental Law Clinic
Students provide legal counsel to national, regional, and grassroots nonprofit organizations on a variety of environment issues, with a focus on biodiversity and conserving natural resources.
