The program accommodates both students’ needs on an academic and career aspect, but also enables a sense of comradery among the students. The care and friendship among students and the Alumni community is what sets Duke Law apart from other schools. With unwavering support from the school and fellow LLM classmates, there is a universe of opportunities which Duke Law students can benefit from.
