Careers

Our students are counseled closely to define their goals and to think about their skills, knowledge, and passions and how they can fit into a fulfilling professional life. The Career and Professional Development Center offers several opportunities for employers to engage Duke Law students in their recruitment efforts.

2L Virtual OCI (for the Class of 2028 for Summer 2027 law firm 2L opportunities) will be held March 10-13, 2026, during the Law School’s spring break. Learn more here.
