Faculty

Students“ Duke Law School has been the best educational experience of my life, and I am immensely grateful for my time here.”

— Christine Kearsley J.D.’14

“ Duke has met and exceeded my expectations. The small class size and close-knit community feel let me get to know and appreciate the excellence of my classmates and professors. The staff… has helped me with every step of my legal career.”

— T.G. Falcon, current student

“ This is an institution that cares about its students. Duke Law is among a very small cohort of law schools that allows its students to pursue dual master’s degrees in law in foreign jurisdictions. I am really interested in working on all kinds of international projects so adding a master’s degree seemed like the perfect complement to my legal studies—something that I would be able to do only at Duke.”

— Sophia Carter, current student

“ We want to excel in everything we do at Duke Law School: bringing in the very best students, providing a challenging and transformative classroom experience, doing influential scholarship, placing students in law firms, public interest, and clerkships, and serving the community. It’s all very expensive, and the support we receive from donors is critical to our success. It’s certainly been true for me. The support I have received from donors permitted me to hire more student research assistants, bring in extra guest speakers, and attend conferences. But I am a donor too. I have pledged to the faculty initiative to support student aid. Private giving is the lifeblood of the Law School.”

— Sara Sun Beale, Charles L.B. Lowndes Professor of Law

“ Duke’s place among the nation’s best law schools would not be possible without the generous support of its friends and alums. And beyond the tangible benefits of their financial assistance, it’s tremendously encouraging to those of us studying and working here to know that there are so many others who share our goals and support our efforts.”

— Lawrence Zelenak, Pamela B. Gann Professor of Law
