History After intermittent periods of law instruction at Trinity College in Durham, the School of Law was established in 1904. When Trinity College became part of the newly-created Duke University with the establishment of the Duke Endowment in 1924, the School of Law became an integral component. Facilities The Law School is located at the corner of Science Drive and Towerview Road and was constructed in the mid-1960's. The first addition to the Law School was completed in 1994, and a polished granite facade was added to the rear exterior of the building. In 2004, Duke Law School broke ground on a building construction project that, once complete, will offer larger and more technologically advanced classrooms, expanded community areas and eating facilities, and more study options. Law journals at Duke Duke Law School is the home of eight academic journals. They include the Duke Law Journal, Law & Contemporary Problems, the Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum, the Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law, the Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy, the Duke Law & Technology Review, the Alaska Law Review, and the Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy. Law & Contemporary Problems is the oldest and most widely circulated of Duke's law journals. The Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy is the newest law journal at the School, and was founded by members of the Class of 2006. Professors Erwin Chemerinsky and Christopher H. Schroeder serve as the "ConLaw" journal's faculty advisors, positioning it as one of the most preeminent journals at the school and in the field of constitutional law. The School provides free online access to all of its academic journals, including the complete text of each journal issue dating back to January 1996 in a fully searchable HTML format and in Adobe Acrobat format (PDF). New issues are posted on the web simultaneously with print publication. In 2005, Duke Law was featured in the June 6th unveiling of the Open Access Law Program, an initiative of Creative Commons, for its work in pioneering open access to legal scholarship.
