International Class of 2012-13

The International LLM Class of 2013 includes 92 students from 37 countries, including, for the first time, students from Sri Lanka and Jordan. The majority of the students have professional experiences in legal settings; many have worked as in-house counsel, judges, prosecutors, government ministers, academics, or public servants. Four new SJD students joined the entering class in fall 2012; two are from Saudi Arabia, one is from Spain, and one is from Taiwan. They will focus their advanced studies on banking, entrepreneurship, environmental law and social science evidence. Duke Law also welcomed 21 visiting scholars from 12 countries in fall 2012; among them are professors, judges, prosecutors, PhD students, in-house or NGO counsel, and a Fulbright Scholar. While six Duke Law JD students study abroad during the fall 2012 semester, nine international students will study at Duke for the semester through international exchange programs. And seventeen members of the entering JD Class of 2015 came from countries around the world, including Canada, China, India, The Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka. Altogether, Duke Law welcomed 143 international law students and scholars in Fall 2012!
