Connect with Duke Law School
We are always eager to connect with prospective students to talk about the academic and professional opportunities available to Duke Law students and answer questions about our application process! This fall, we'll be participating in a variety of in-person and virtual events to help you learn more about Duke. The current opportunities are listed below, but this is a work in progress, so check back periodically for updates!
Unless otherwise indicated, all times are Eastern.
