Duke Law Catering Guidelines
Law School Café:
The Daily Docket (under parent company Picnic Basket), and preferred catering partner, is the Law School Café vendor. If you have questions or comments about the Café, please direct them to the Café or to Duke Dining at dining@duke.edu.
Approved Caterer:
The Picnic Basket is the Law School's preferred catering partner. Menus and ordering process can be found HERE. You can also e-mail them at orders@thepicnicbasket.net.
The Picnic Basket is to be given first right of refusal as the preferred catering partner for Law School events (this excludes student funded lunch events). The Picnic Basket must be given first option for any after hour events and any events serving alcohol. As they may not be able to meet all budgets or menu requirements, including specialty menus and multi day events, exceptions can be made for other vendors to cater with approval from the Law School Events Office. The Picnic Basket has a full range of menus and services and will work with planners to accommodate most all requests. Please reach out to events@law.duke.edu with any questions.

NOTE: For lunch time events taking place inside classrooms with classes preceding and following the lunch hour, only grab and go items should be ordered. Buffets are not permitted for lunch time events as there is no time between the scheduled classes for caterers to set up and clean up in a timely manner. Please reach out to events@law.duke.edu with any questions.
All food and trash must be cleaned up, removed and disposed of immediately following your event. Do not move it to another location.
