The dean of Stanford Law School serves as the head of the law school at Stanford University. From 1893 until 1906, the school was headed by an executive before the deanship was established in the 1910s.
The current interim dean, Paul Brest, entered the office following the resignation of Robert Weisberg, becoming the third dean in the four month period since October 2023, when Jenny Martinez resigned to become provost of Stanford.[1][2]
