Anti-discrimination Policy, Information for Employers
"Duke University School of Law is committed to providing students and graduates with equal opportunity to obtain employment without discrimination based on race, color, veteran status, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age or handicap.
In the Law School's view, the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy of the United States military constitutes or permits discrimination based on grounds of sexual orientation. The School nonetheless permits the military service to use its facilities for recruitment because the failure to do so would subject Duke University to the loss of substantial Federal funding."
Statement Adopted by the Faculty of Duke Law School
Your organization is required to comply with the Law School's anti-discrimination policy stated above in order to interview on-campus, participate in on-campus events and /or post positions for Duke Law students. PLEASE CHECK-MARK THE SECTION LABLED "ANTI-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY AFFIRMED" IN ORDER TO COMPLETE YOUR ON-LINE REGISTRATION REQUEST FORM.
All employers interviewing on campus or posting positions for Duke Law students are encouraged to be familiar with the National Association for
Legal Professionals' publication, Lawful and Effective Interviewing Practices, as an aid to appropriate interviewing practices. Interviewers are
reminded that students form opinions about organizations based on the interviewing skills of the recruiters and their knowledge about all areas of
the employer's practice. While most professionals strive to maintain a professional and sensitive attitude, students occasionally lodge complaints
about discriminatory behavior on the part of an interviewer or professional during summer employment. Employers and interviewers should review
Duke Law School's Policy & Procedures for Addressing Student Complaints of
Discriminatory Behavior During the Recruiting Process or Summer Employment.
