Research Assistant ABOUT THE STANFORD LAW SCHOOL POLICY LAB Engagement in public policy is a core mission of teaching and research at Stanford Law School (SLS). The Law and Policy Lab (The Policy Lab) offers students an immersive experience in finding solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Under the guidance of seasoned faculty advisers, Policy Lab students counsel real-world clients in an array of areas, including education, global governance, transnational law enforcement, intellectual property, policing and technology, and energy policy. Policy labs address policy problems for real clients, using analytic approaches that supplement traditional legal analysis. The clients may be local, state, federal and international public agencies or officials, or private non-profit entities such as NGOs and foundations. Typically, policy labs assist clients in deciding whether and how qualitative and/or quantitative empirical evidence can be brought to bear to better understand the nature or magnitude of their particular policy problem and identify and assess policy options. The methods may include comparative case studies, population surveys, stakeholder interviews, experimental methods, program evaluation or big data science, and a mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis.
