However, in 1855 Trinity College, the predecessor of Duke University, began offering lectures on (but not a degree in) the Constitution and International Law (during this time, Trinity is located in Randolph County, North Carolina).
In 1865, the Trinity Legal Department was officially established, while 1868 marked the official Chartering of Schools of Law. After a ten-year hiatus from 1894 to 1904, James B. Duke and Benjamin Newton Duke provided endowment funds to reopen the school, with Samuel Fox Mordecai as his senior professor (at present, Trinity College moved to Durham, North Carolina). When Trinity College became part of the newly formed Duke University at the time of the Duke Endowment establishment in 1924, the School of Law went on to be the Duke University Law Faculty. In 1930, the Law School moved from the Carr Building at Duke's East Campus to a new location on the main square of the Western Campus. For three years before this step, the size of the legal library increased threefold. Among other famous alumni, President Richard Nixon graduated from school in 1937. In 1963, the school moved to its present location in Science Drive on the Western Campus.
Student law at Duke University established the first US Chapter of the International Criminal Court Student Network (ICCSN) in 2009.
