The LLM Program in Entrepreneurship at Duke provides students with the tools and experiences
necessary to lead, advise, or participate
in a variety of entrepreneurial experiences.
We combine academic work in the classroom with direct experience through the practicum,
and this combination of the academic and the practical really makes the program different.
People think of lawyers as risk averse, closed in, narrow-minded, and this is a program that
is pushing those boundaries and saying, ok, how can we be creative?
I think what I enjoy the most about the LLMLE students is that they have thought about what
they value in their practice and in their
life and
they are committed to entrepreneurial ventures or entrepreneurial businesses.
This program is for creative people who know what they value and are excited about doing
something new and fun, and plotting their
own course.
That’s fundamentally how it’s different.
