The Stanford Center for Law and History (SCLH) brings together faculty, postdocs, and students from across Stanford University’s many schools and departments—and beyond—to participate in a broad range of conferences, workshops, and lectures devoted to examining the interrelationships between law and history, without geographic, temporal, or other subject-area limitations.

SCLH seeks to:

• Serve as an intellectual hub for law and history at Stanford, facilitating sustained dialogue and engagement among the many on campus who work at the intersection of the two fields.
• Promote a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of law and history.
• Advance the research and teaching interests of Stanford’s diverse constituents in law and history,
  including faculty, postdocs, and students at all levels.
• Serve as a bridge between Stanford’s law and history community and those with shared interests based elsewhere in the Bay Area and around the globe.
• Support students working on law and history topics at Stanford and elsewhere, including by offering a Stanford Law School Legal History Paper Prize and Graduate Student Annual Conference Paper Prize.
