I saw your update, and wanted to let you know I'd be happy to share my thoughts (as I have on my profile and in response to others) about Duke. It's a great school -- especially for IP/patent law (especially after Rai left Penn for Duke). It's also very close to the research triangle. When I made my decision, I realized that Penn was a great school too, but Duke had more faculty, clinics, and journals that interested me. You probably already know this stuff, but thought I'd share. I also have learned a lot about housing, and such, and would be happy to put you in touch with some other locals.
