Dear Stanford Law School Alumni and Friends,

Thank you for your interest in giving to Stanford Law School. Whether you are a loyal annual contributor or you are thinking about making your first donation to the law school, your support could not come at a better time. We have joined the rest of the university in The Stanford Challenge, a major campaign to refit graduate education for the 21st century, and annual contributions to the Law Fund are a critical part of our success.

The generosity of alumni and friends during The Stanford Challenge has already enabled the school to accomplish a lot. We have built a new 600-bed residence and are soon to complete a new academic building. We have integrated our students into the broader university and created the most interdisciplinary law program in the country. We have forged a new model for clinical education. And we have strengthened our core programs.

As we move forward toward the end of this campaign, annual donations to the Law Fund will give us the flexibility to allocate resources to the school's most pressing needs. Even the most basic elements of our operation—recruiting and retaining faculty, attracting high-caliber students, maintaining a dynamic and relevant curriculum, providing space for teaching and research—are possible only with the annual support of our alumni and friends.

Thank you again for considering a gift to the Law Fund. Gifts of every size are appreciated, and will make a tangible difference in the lives of current and future students.

	With warmest appreciation,
	Larry Kramer The Richard E. Lang Professor of   Law and Dean
