Board of Visitors

The Board of Visitors is a group of alumni and non-alumni who represent the "community barometer" for Santa Clara Law. This group meets with the Dean once a year to discuss the direction, focus and future of the law school. The group also presents issues and makes suggestions that highlight the concerns of the legal community. The Board of Visitors is a vital aspect in the creation of an educational experience that is both currently relevant as well as progressive.
