Since 1984 the Stanford Law and Technology Association (SLATA) has engaged the Stanford community with thought leaders at the intersections of law, policy, science, and technology. SLATA’s events foster a vibrant intellectual dialogue about the novel and challenging legal questions that coincide with technological innovation.

For Stanford Law students, SLATA’s popular “Lunch with the JDs” program provides a connection to practicing lawyers in intellectual property, privacy, free speech, and other related fields. “Dinner with the Profs” establishes an informal setting for students to debate emerging issues with leading scholars. SLATA also maintains several technology resources for students, including online bookstores that sponsor student benefits and a comprehensive database of course outlines.

SLATA alumni include Co-Founders Kent Walker ‘87 (Vice President and General Counsel at Google) and Ivan Fong ‘87 (General Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security), and Marc Rotenberg ‘87 (executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center).
