The majority of Duke Law’s student clubs, organizations, and activities–professional, social and extracurricular–are coordinated and overseen by The Duke Bar Association, or DBA. In its structure and purpose, the DBA is unique in that it acts as both a university student government and a professional bar association.
One of the DBA's most significant functions is that of liaison between students, faculty, and the administration. DBA sends student representatives to every major faculty committee at Duke Law, including the Admissions, Faculty Appointments and Planning and Curriculum Committees. This process ensures that students are central to all major decisions at Duke Law, from faculty hires to grading system changes.
If you are interested in serving in a representative role with the DBA please contact the Internal Vice President, Elissa Flynn ( Elissa.Flynn@law.duke.edu). The DBA holds elections in March of each year for the following academic year and in the early fall semester for those 1Ls who want to serve.
