Current Members
The Advanced Degree Student Association was established by students attending one of the three master's programs or the doctoral program at Stanford Law School. Admission to the programs is limited to exceptional students with a primary law degree earned outside the U.S., which means that the members of the Association are representatives of the international community at Stanford Law School. However, membership in and activities of the Association are open to all Stanford law students.
The 2011-2012 members of the Association are students enrolled in one of the four advanced degree programs offered by Stanford Law School:
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) - Corporate Governance & Practice
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) - Law, Science & Technology
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) - International Economic Law, Business & Policy
The Master of the Science of Law (J.S.M.) - Stanford Program in International Legal Studies (SPILS)
The Doctor of the Science of Law (J.S.D.)
Events & Announcements
The Association participates in the academic and social life of the Law School by organizing various lunch talks and co-organizing the annual International TGIF.
For other upcoming events see the Law School Calendar.
