Self-Paced Courses

Guided courses for the Stanford Law School community, written to be worked through on your own, in whatever order is useful to you.

Each course stands alone and starts from the beginning of its own subject, so you can enter at the point that matches what you already know. Nothing here is graded, nothing is required, and nothing issues a certificate — these are not Stanford Law School courses for credit. They are explanations and exercises you can stop and resume.

Educational and independent

These self-paced lessons are produced independently by the Robert Crown Law Library for educational and informational purposes. Vendors do not sponsor, review, or influence our coverage. Including a product in a lesson does not mean Stanford Law School endorses it or that Stanford has approved it for use with Stanford data.

Before applying anything you learn here to Stanford work, consult Responsible AI at Stanford (opens in a new tab) for current privacy, security, and approved-service guidance.

AI Skills

Where a tutorial explains a concept, a skill hands you the method. Each one is problem-first, policy-aware, and organized around verification — built for law study and ready to install in ChatGPT or Claude.
