Welcome to our NEW website! We appreciate your patience and we continuously build our site. Please check back often as content is constantly being added.
The Office of Pre-Law Advising at Duke University serves undergraduate students and alumni from Trinity College and the Pratt School of Engineering as well as current graduate/professional students at Duke who are interested in law school.
There is no “pre-law track” at Duke. Any student with any undergraduate major can apply to law school. The design of the Trinity undergraduate curriculum equips students well with the skills that are needed to be successful in law school.
