Journal Information

The Duke Law Journal is published six times per year, in October, November, December, February, March, and April, at the Duke University School of Law. The journal is among the most prestigious and influential legal publications in the country. Edited by a student board, approximately one-third of each issue's contents consists of student notes dealing with current legal developments, with the remaining content being devoted to articles and comments by professors and practitioners. Generally one issue each year is devoted to administrative law and often another issue is in the form of a symposium.

Among the Law School's unique strengths are an extensive network of interdisciplinary collaboration across the Duke campus and an emphasis in teaching and research initiatives addressing global and international issues.
