Stanford Law School has launched the Sally B. and William H. Neukom Center for the Rule of Law, established via a donation from the couple, with the aim of elevating the topic of rule of law across the Stanford campus and throughout academia.

The Neukom name is not new to Stanford Law School: In 2002, the William H. Neukom professor of law chair at Stanford was established and supports faculty working in human rights, intellectual property rights, ethics and legal responsibility, global rule of law issues and antitrust and consumer protection, and in 2011, the law school dedicated the William H. Neukom Building, which is named for his lead gift, according to the announcement.
