The complex houses Robert Crown Law Library, modern classrooms, a moot courtroom, offices and meeting rooms for faculty and for student organizations, a student lounge and snack bar, and Kresge Auditorium. Crothers Hall, an on-campus law student residence, is one block away, as is the Mark Taper Law Student Center, a recreation and meeting facility opened in 1987. After the first year, students hone their appellate advocacy skills in the Kirkwood Moot Court Competition.
Many students are also engaged in legal services and outreach programs.
Student-run conferences, such as the Shaking the Foundations conference on progressive lawyering, the Sea Change conference on oceans and environmental law, and the Cyberspace and Privacy conference, provide leadership opportunities for students while making a significant impact on the broader community. The annual auction sponsored by the Stanford Public Interest Law Foundation raises tens of thousands of dollars to benefit nonprofit organizations and provides funding to students who work in public interest jobs over the summer. As a member of the Research Libraries Group, Crown Library provides access to the holdings of other leading universities as well. Law students may also use the many other research libraries maintained by Stanford University. Housing is guaranteed to all new, matriculated students who apply for housing by the early May deadline and are willing to live in any graduate residence.
