Alumni & Giving

Law Alumni Association

Every alumnus/a of the Law School is a member of the Law Alumni Association. The LAA Board of Directors, its governing body, consists of 35-40 members representing diverse geographic concentrations, including international alumni, a wide variety of practice areas and business interests, and different decades of graduation. The LAA New Lawyers Division (NLD) is also a diverse group that consists of representatives of the five most recent graduating classes. The Board and NLD are working to build a worldwide Duke Law network for alumni and students. If you are interested in serving on this Board, please contact Anna Walker, JD.
