“It is hard to overstate the enthusiasm with which the law faculty anticipates his return.”
That’s how Stanford Law School Dean George Triantis describes Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar’s arrival back at Stanford this summer. A former California Supreme Court justice and ...previously the Stanley Morrison Professor of Law, Cuéllar will rejoin the Stanford Law faculty while taking on two major university leadership roles.
Cuéllar will serve as the next Sara Miller McCune Director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) and as the Shriram Family Director of Knight-Hennessy Scholars. He will also hold a courtesy appointment in political science.
Before his appointment to the California Supreme Court in 2015, Cuéllar was a member of the Stanford Law faculty for more than a decade. He continued teaching at Stanford Law during his time on the bench as the Herman Phleger Visiting Professor.
“Tino Cuéllar has been a beloved teacher and mentor to hundreds of students, both before leaving the Law School for the California Supreme Court and since then,” said Triantis. “He has an extraordinary and unique record of accomplishment as a widely-cited legal scholar and jurist.”
Welcome back to Stanford Law, Professor Cuéllar.
