1L Students

The Career Center team is committed to getting to know every Duke Law Student by offering individualized attention and tailored advice. Starting with participation in Admitted Students events, followed by 1L Orientation and involvement in all facets of student life, the Career Center team is a fixture of the student experience at Duke. For some students, one meeting is all they want or need; others meet with a counselor almost weekly throughout their time at Duke.
