Every one of the dozens of lawyers I've met from Stanford Law (here in LA, prior to COVID) has been a member of the far-right Federalist Society, and Stanford Law works closely with the far-right Hoover Institution think tank. Trump's and the RNC's legal team at Jones Day was also heavy with Stanford Law graduates during Trump's term. I get the sense that the ones staying in a liberal area like the Bay Area are most likely to be the progressive ones. LA is less progressive and has a significantly larger conservative population than the Bay Area (by absolute numbers, LA is one of the most conservative metropolitan areas in the U.S.; roughly 40ish% of the 13 million people in LA, or about 5.2 million are registered Republicans, which is why Republicans constantly make trips to LA to raise money)
