Funded primarily with a $750,000 gift from the Sidley Austin Foundation and Sidley alumni of Stanford, the “Stanford Law School Study of the Legal Profession” will gather data to analyze the evolving structure and organization of law firms.
The study, to be conducted by the school’s Center on the Legal Profession, is expected to take three to five years. Faculty, alumni and the Stanford University Graduate School of Business will work on the project. It will include the input of practitioners, managing partners and in-house counsel.
