Create your own Blueprint

" A law school education should be about exploring a range of interests, so that after graduation, individuals can tailor it -- they can best mesh their work with their personal goals."

Amy Yeung '06

The clubs and organizations at Duke Law run the gamut, from the Innocence Project to the Duke Law Bowling League to the Intellectual Property and Cyberlaw Society. If your particular interests aren’t represented by the 40+ groups, you are welcome and encouraged to start your own.

The Duke Bar Association (DBA) coordinates the professional, social, and other extracurricular activities of the student body. The DBA serves as both a student government and a professional bar association. It addresses student grievances and serves as a liaison between students, faculty, and the administration. The DBA oversees all of the law school student organizations, publicizes Law School activities, sponsors athletic and social programs, and disburses its dues funds among the school's organizations. Please visit the DBA link below for more details.


In addition to all of these, there are many Duke-wide organizations that welcome Duke Law students, including the Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC), Duke Chorale, the Graduate and Professional Women's Network (GPWN), the Graduate Student Dance Club, and Triangle Girls.

American Bar Association's Law Student Division

The ABA/LSD allows law students contact with the nation's largest professional association for lawyers, the American Bar Association. Each year the student body elects ABA/LSD representatives who serve as liaisons between students and the ABA. For a small enrollment fee, any law student may join the Law Student Division and receive product discounts, a subscription to the ABA magazine, Student Lawyer, and information about the ABA's programs and publications on specialized areas of the law. The ABA/LSD also promotes various advocacy and essay contests throughout the school year.

The ABA-LSD shall be responsible for furthering the purposes and goals of the American Bar Association (ABA), particularly to promote the full and equal participation in the profession by minorities and women; to represent law students in the ABA and to represent the ABA to law students; to help shape the policies and priorities that affect legal education; and to create a deliberative forum for the exchange and expression of law student views and a voice with which to advocate those views.
