Location

The Law School is situated on Duke University's picturesque West Campus, on the southwest corner of Science Drive and Towerview Road. For more information on how to navigate around the University, please see the campus map.

Duke is located in Durham, North Carolina, a city with a population of around 290,000 and part of the Research Triangle metropolitan area, which includes the University of North Carolina's main campus in Chapel Hill and the state capital in Raleigh. In the center of the region is the Research Triangle Park, an internationally renowned business and research center that is home to many of the world's high-technology industries. The area provides a dynamic, rich community with one of the highest per capita populations of Ph.D. graduates in the world. When you come to visit Duke's campus, we hope you'll explore this exciting city as well!

Law School Student-Guided Tours 

January 12 through April 16

Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. & Fridays at 2:00 p.m.

Most visitors find it very helpful to speak with current students. No registration or advance notice is required for the student-guided building tour. Arrive at the Office of Admissions ahead of time to check in. Tours last approximately 45 minutes and will not be offered January 19 (MLK holiday), March 6-13 (spring break), or March 27.

Law School Self-Guided Tours

We offer self-guided building tours year-round on weekdays during normal business hours. Stop by the Office of Admissions (suite 2023) to check-in and pick up the tour brochure (we would also like to record your visit!). 

Observing a Class

During the academic year, class visits are offered Monday through Thursday. Plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early for the class and introduce yourself to the professor. Please stop by the Office of Admissions (suite 2023) for directions to the classroom. In some cases, seating may be limited, and classes may be canceled or rescheduled without notice. Although April 16 is the last day of classes, many professors use the final week for review and do not allow visitors. No class visits will be offered January 19 (MLK holiday) or March 9-13 (spring break). 

The spring semester schedule will be available mid-January.
