Student Scholarship

Students at Duke Law have ample opportunity to pursue their academic research interests. Work from independent studies and capstone projects often results in a publishable paper and the Student Paper Series provides a forum where students present drafts and receive feedback from faculty and peers alike. In addition, Duke has created a Summer Student Scholarship Grant, which gives students an opportunity to spend a summer doing creative and in-depth research to produce a paper that will be submitted for publication outside of the Law School.

Summer Scholarship Grant

Duke Law School has created a summer grant program to support student scholarship. Our hope is that the opportunity to spend a summer researching and writing, with faculty support, will encourage some students to undertake more creative and in-depth research for papers, and will enable some students to develop scholarship for submission to journals outside of Duke Law School.
