Stanford Program in Law, Economics & Business

Overview

Robert M. Daines, Pritzker Professor of Law and Business and Daniel P. Kessler, JD, PhD, professor (by courtesy) of Law are co-directors of the new Stanford Program in Law, Economics & Business.

The Program in Law, Economics & Business unites several programs at the Law School which draw on its faculty strength in corporate and securities law, taxation and economics.

LEB Affiliates Program

LEB Program Affiliates contribute through sponsorship and program input on an annual basis and support sustained scholarship, policy relevant research and teaching, and program development that bridges the gap between academia and the real world. In return, affiliates and their clients have access to the Law School's established series of high value, leading edge executive programs, exclusive roundtables, working groups and special events.

As a direct result of affiliate support, Stanford Law School is today a nationally recognized leader in the field of law and business, and has the preeminent law school program for senior executive, director and institutional investor education.
