It’s an exciting time to be a student at Duquesne University School of Law. Our curriculum offers new practice-area concentrations and extensive skills training and bar preparation. Our new clinical legal education building just opened. And our legal research and writing program continues to be recognized as a national leader in developing professional writing skills for today’s legal careers.

It’s time to discover Duquesne University School of Law.

BEST VALUE Law School One of only seven private law schools recognized — National Jurist magazine September 2014

WELCOME TO DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW If the standard of a law school’s greatness is the caliber of its students, the success of its graduates, and the dedication of its faculty, then there is no doubt that the Duquesne University School of Law stands among the nation’s best.

At Duquesne, we seek the best and brightest students to join our community of scholars, and we prepare them for success every step of the way.

You cannot get lost here. The deans and professors will know you from the day you walk in the front door, and you will know them. Classes are small. Professors are easily accessible to students and spend many hours with them. You can see any of the top administrators, including me, on a drop-in basis. Together we learn, we produce scholarly works, and we make a difference in our community and in our world.

Our alumni have achieved key leadership positions in government and in business, and have excelled in private practice. We are proud of the number of graduates who have attained judicial office in Pennsylvania, New York, California, and many other states.

We are grateful to have active alumni who contribute time, talent, and resources on behalf of their law school alma mater and our current students.

Finally, there is one factor that distinguishes our law school: and that, quite simply, is the fact that we are part of Duquesne University, a Catholic institution dedicated to moral, ethical, and spiritual values. In an era when ethical concerns are among the most important questions facing the legal profession, Duquesne University’s School of Law has, for a century, reflected the University’s unique emphasis on justice and service to others.

This rich combination of attributes, along with the convenience of full-time and part-time evening and day programs, and a competitive tuition rate, leads a large number of talented students to apply each year. Those selected bring a mix of backgrounds and experiences and enjoy an atmosphere of openness and diversity.

You are invited to read on and learn more about the many dynamic opportunities that Duquesne University School of Law has to offer. We hope that you will consider becoming a part of our rich tradition.

Sincerely,

Ken Gormley Dean, Professor of Law

“My internship at an international firm in Düsseldorf reaffirmed my decision to go to law school. After assisting in writing due diligence reports for multinational business entities, supply and acquisition agreements between German and U.S. companies, and risk assessments for international clients, I knew the practice of law was right for me and I felt confident I could succeed in it.”

— Barrie Denmark, 2014

“My externship with Mediengruppe RTL was one of the most definitive opportunities that I have experienced academically, professionally, and personally. I worked with licensing agreements with major U.S. and international broadcasting networks and worked with various English-language contracts. Overall, I would highly recommend study abroad and the program’s externship opportunities.”

EDUCATING THE MIND, HEART, AND SPIRIT DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL OF LAW FACILITIES Duquesne’s campus offers the best of two worlds — a secure, private enclave for academic pursuits, located only steps away from Pittsburgh’s vibrant urban center. The School of Law is housed in the Edward J. Hanley Hall and the Dr. John E. Murray Jr. Pavilion at the heart of Duquesne University’s hilltop campus. Two mock courtrooms, classrooms, study areas, and a multilevel law library are all under one roof, along with a coffee shop, student lounge, locker area, and offices for student organizations.

The School of Law’s Tribone Center for Clinical Legal Education is located on Fifth Avenue, adjacent to campus. The facilities include a mock courtroom and state-of-the-art computer and audio/video technology for teaching, research, and administration.

Law students also have access to all of the other amenities on Duquesne’s 50-acre campus, including computer laboratories, dining services, two Starbucks, the Gumberg Library, the Barnes & Noble bookstore, and extensive recreation and fitness facilities in the Power Center and throughout the campus.

Scores of other law offices and corporate headquarters are within a few blocks, as are many of the School of Law’s clinical and externship opportunities.

Pittsburgh’s compact urban center, with all its amenities, sits at Duquesne’s doorstep. The city’s major-league sports venues are all located within about a mile of campus, including the Pittsburgh Pirates’ PNC Park and the

Pittsburgh Steelers’ Heinz Field on the North Shore.

CONSOL Energy Center — home of the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins, concerts, and shows — is just across the street from campus.
