About the Career Center

Why did you come to law school? What are you most passionate about? What does your future look like, and what path will you take to get there?

At the Career Center we know that there is no one definition of success, but believe that it is most often found at the crossroads of preparation and opportunity.

Whatever your dreams, whether you strive to work for a law firm, large or small, devote your practice to a cause of public concern, or launch your career at the elbow of an experienced judge as a judicial clerk, the Career Center stands ready to help you excel.

Starting in your first year of study, and throughout your time at Duke Law, we will work alongside you to help you discover your passions, to uncover fulfilling opportunities, and to develop core skills that will carry you well into your legal career.

So, come see us, and check back often. Let us help you define your meaning of success, prepare through time-tested advice, resources and programming, and together create a strategy that can put you squarely on the professional path that's right for you.
