Recognition and Incentives
Barrister Donor Society
The Barrister Donor Society is the Law School’s leadership giving society. Barristers receive invitations to special events, including the Law School’s Barrister reception held during Reunion Weekend, and are recognized annually on a plaque in the Law School as well as in the fall Duke Law Magazine. Last year, 14 members of the Class of 2010 became Barristers through the Class Gift. Young alumni (1-5 years out) are recognized as Barrister with a gift of $1,000 to any fund.
Samuel F. Mordecai Fellows
Named after the Law School’s first dean, the Mordecai Fellows are generous donors to Duke Law who receive special recognition in our Honor Roll. Young alumni are recognized as Mordecai Fellows with a gift of $500 to any fund.
Reasons to Give
- Every gift to Duke Law School counts. A high giving rate shows firms, foundations and prospective students that alumni believe in the school.
- The money raised in the Class Gift Campaign goes directly to benefit students.
- Your Class Gift donation helps continue the cycle of giving, providing support for current and future students so that they may have the same opportunities and benefits that you received while at Duke Law.
- Payment on your pledge is not due until June 30th, 2012. This gives you a year of income before you send any money to Duke Law.
- Your donation may be tax deductible.
