Martin Marietta Sponsors Duke University Prelaw
Fellowship Program

Since 2023, Martin Marietta has partnered with Duke University to offer support for Duke University’s Prelaw Fellowship
Program. Though representatives of this residential program actively recruit students attending Historically Black Colleges
and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACUs) and other minority-serving
institutions, the opportunity is open to rising college sophomores and juniors from across the United States, according to
the program’s website.

In a letter thanking Martin Marietta for its support, Duke University School of Law Dean Kerry Abrams says the program
served more than 20 students since its inception, providing each with a “four-week journey through a robust curriculum”
covering such topics as legal writing and reasoning, civil rights, children’s law, legislative policy and courses in contract
law, property law and criminal law.

Program participants additionally enjoyed field trips to the Greensboro Civil Rights Museum, several area law schools and
courthouses, and a top regional law firm, Abrams says, noting that fellowship program participants were also offered
ample professional development and LSAT preparation opportunities.

“We thank Martin Marietta for partnering with us in this worthwhile initiative and investing in the important work of
diversifying the legal profession,” Abrams writes. “Please extend our gratitude to your colleagues.”
