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 are joining the rest of the university in The Stanford Challenge, a major campaign to refit graduate education for the 21^st century, and annual contributions to the Law Fund will be a critical part of our success.

Annual donations to the Law Fund 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
