Partner Barry Berke, a graduate of the Duke Sanford School of Public Policy and currently a member of its Board of Visitors, was recently profiled by the school. Of his time at the school, he said: “Sanford taught me to not stay on the sidelines, but rather to try to make a difference in my local and broader communities.”

Reflecting on Sanford students being implored to “stand for something,” Barry said that for him recently “that has involved standing for the importance of preserving our democratic ideals, the sanctity of our elections, and the independence of our government institutions.”
