“We aim to ‘make the case for the rule of law.’ Our Institute is dedicated to preserving and advancing the rule of law, here in the United States and around the world.”
— David F. Levi, Director Emeritus, Bolch Judicial Institute
Our programs are made possible by the generous support of many donors. Gifts of any amount can be made online through Duke Law’s secure giving site. All gifts support our efforts to strengthen the rule of law and improve the administration of justice through teaching, scholarship, innovation, and collaboration. Donations do not influence the substance of the Institute’s work, and we maintain strict adherence to all canons concerning judicial education programs.
