Transcripts for all undergraduate and graduate work must be submitted directly to the CAS. Curriculum Vitae: Please include your significant work experience, educational history, college and community activities, honors and awards you have received, and any prior Duke affiliation. Include dates for all items listed on your résumé. Please provide complete information; there is no required length and your résumé may exceed one page. Personal Statement: The statement is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the admissions committee and should include (1) what you think have been your significant personal experiences beyond what may be reflected in your academic transcripts and on your résumé, and (2) your personal and career ambitions. There is no required length or page limit. Recommendation Letter: You must submit two required recommendation letters through LSAC. Professors who have personal knowledge of your academic performance and potential should write your letters of recommendation. If you have been out of school for some time, you may substitute letters from employers or others who are well acquainted with your personal traits and intellectual potential. A signature is required on all recommendation letters, preferably on letterhead. Other Document 1: Why chosen? You may submit an essay providing additional information about why you have chosen to apply to law school in general and Duke in particular. We are interested in the factors that have prompted your interest in a legal career and the ways in which you think Duke can further that interest. Diversity: Duke Law’s admission process is guided by the view that a student body that reflects the broad diversity of society contributes to the implementation of Law School’s mission, improves the learning process, and enriches the educational experience for all students. In reviewing applications, the Law School considers, as one factor among many, how an applicant may contribute to the diversity of the Law School based on the candidate’s experiences, achievements, background, and perspectives. This approach ensures the best and most relevant possible legal training and serves the legal profession by training lawyers to effectively serve an increasingly diverse society. You are invited to submit an essay that describes your particular life experiences with an emphasis on how the perspectives that you have acquired would contribute to the Duke Law’s intellectual community and enhance the diversity of the student body. Examples of topics include (but are not limited to): an experience of prejudice, bias, economic disadvantage, personal adversity, or other social hardship (perhaps stemming from one’s religious affiliation, disability, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity); experience as a first-generation college student; significant employment history (such as in business, military or law enforcement, or public service); experience as an immigrant or refugee; graduate study; or impressive leadership achievement (including college or community service).
