Why Duquesne Kline Law?
I chose Duquesne Kline because of its legacy of commitment to public service. This is an institution that remembers and honors its community. The motto is, "the Welfare of the People is the Highest Law". It's more than just a slogan.
I chose Duquesne Kline because of the amazing scholarship opportunities. Additionally, the high bar passage rate was important to my decision because I want to be successful inside and outside of law school.
I wanted to go to school somewhere that felt genuinely supportive and student focused. Duquesne Kline has many great opportunities and programs but still feels close knit and very personal.
