Building Dedication
The Duke community celebrated the completion of the Law School’s multi-year expansion and renovation project at a series of "Duke Law Enlightened" events during the first week of November. A collection of lectures and ceremonies provided an opportunity to reflect on the Law School’s history, growth, and future direction while paying tribute to those who made possible the cornerstone elements of the project: the J. Michael Goodson Law Library and the Star Commons.
The celebration culminated with an official dedication ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 8, during which keynote speaker Justice Anthony Kennedy noted the symbolic relationship between the renovated facility and the principles of the legal profession. Said Kennedy: "Here in this space you can see the affirmation of the stability of the law by the strong verticals, verticals which frame a heritage and a culture and which allow light to inform our work."
