International Alumni Activities
International alumni volunteers help keep alumni connected by organizing events in their area and promoting Duke Law to prospective students. All Law alumni living in a particular city will receive communication about upcoming alumni events, as long as we have a current mailing address on file for you. Update your address here. We also welcome our visiting scholar and overseas exchange program students to our overseas alumni activities in their home countries.

The International Advisory Board (IAB) is a diverse group of the New York City-area alumni of the International LLM program. The International Advisory Board is charged with communicating Duke Law School’s activities, priorities, and intellectual resources, particularly as related to its International LLM program, to external constituents; representing the interests of the International LLM alumni population to the dean and administration; advancing the work of the IAB through service to current initiatives; and building the institution through leadership.
Duke Law International Alumni Regional Partners serve as local volunteer leaders. Regional partners help promote Duke Law to prospective students and keep alumni connected by organizing events in their areas. For more information about how to get involved in your local community, please contact the International Studies department or the local senior alumni regional partner.
Each year, Duke Law School welcome a group of 80-100 international LLM students from 40+ countries. If you’d like to learn more about the current class, click here. If you’d like to be connected to a current student, please contact the Office of International Studies at international@law.duke.edu. Be sure to indicate your year of graduation when you write to us, and thank you advance for your support.
