Faculty Research Assistant Program

Main Content

The Law Library's Faculty Research Assistants program connects faculty with research assistants to work on smaller short-term projects. To submit a project to the program email program facilitator Cas Laskowski, cml91@duke.edu. 

All Law faculty may request the services of law students who are hired, trained and supervised by the reference librarians. We assign library RAs to work on your projects based upon their areas of interest and availability. Qualifying projects require less than 20 hours of work and are legal in nature.
