ABA Approved Since 1931
Established as a graduate professional school in 1930,
Duke University School of Law has created a unique academic community. Its
mission is to prepare students for responsible, ethical and productive lives in
the legal profession. Recognizing that its graduates will face unprecedented
challenge and change within society and the field of law, Duke Law School strives to develop within each
student a capacity for legal reasoning, intellectual discipline and critical
analysis, equipping its graduates with tools which can be adapted and applied
across the spectrum of legal practices.
Unlike many schools, Duke is committed to remaining
relatively small, limiting entering classes to about 200 students. With a total
enrollment of a little more than 600 J.D. students and 75 foreign LL.M.s, the
school selects highly qualified students from a pool of applicants from the
United States and abroad. Students come from almost every state and more than
25 different countries. Highly qualified foreign law graduates participate in
the LL.M. and S.J.D. programs.
Renowned for their excellence and productivity, Duke
Law faculty members are committed to teaching and take a strong personal interest
in their students. Because of the faculty's deep interdisciplinary strength,
the school is able to offer an extensive list of electives that vary in format,
pedagogy and content. Visiting and adjunct professors from the legal profession
and other national and international law schools bring new perspectives to
students.
The Law School's interdisciplinary focus is supported by Duke University's
strong undergraduate programs and graduate and professional schools, which are
internationally renowned for their quality and innovation and offer an
extensive network of interdisciplinary collaborations. Law students benefit
from Duke's offering of innovative joint‑degree programs.
The LawSchool gives students an
opportunity to contribute to one of its nine journals ‑ all of which are
accessible online ‑ and to further develop writing and oral advocacy
skills in moot court competitions. Students are encouraged to attend the
visiting lecture series, and student leaders host several significant
conferences each year. Members of the Law School's
40+ student organizations participate in a wide variety of campus and community
programs and projects.
In addition, students can participate in a variety of
Law School programs, such as the Program in Public Law, the Appellate Practice
Clinic and Wrongful Convictions Clinic, the Center on Law, Ethics and National
Security, the AIDS Legal Assistance Program, the Children's Education Law
Clinic, the Community Enterprise Clinic, the Guantanamo Defense Clinic, the
Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, and the Public Interest and Pro Bono
Programs. To complement the strong LL.M. program, the Law
School offers students the opportunity
to participate in the two Duke Law Summer Institutes: one in Europe and the
other in Asia.
The 2008 full renovation and expansion of the Duke Law
Library brings the Library's physical plant into line with the Law School's
acknowledged leadership in applying state‑of‑the‑art
technologies to the study of law. In addition to its extensive print collections,
the Library provides superior electronic research capabilities, a variety of
technology‑equipped spaces for group and individual study, and support
for student web and video projects.
Duke's superb faculty, distinguished alumni, talented
and engaged students, and the outstanding facility combine to create a world‑class
law school. Duke University School of Law is recognized nationally and
internationally for leadership in research, education, and public service, and
for equipping its students for leadership in legal careers that uphold the
highest tradition of excellence.
Duke Law School is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of
the Association of American Law Schools.
