Meet our Duquesne Kline School of Law Faculty.
"Without the ability to serve people, our job as lawyers would cease to exist. The Spiritan mission will be at the forefront of my career as I will make the welfare of my clients my top priority."
"I chose to come to the school for the Spiritan mission that emphasizes serving others. Since I’ve been here, the legal research and writing program has prepared me for thinking and writing well—two skills that are essential for a career in law."
"Duquesne Kline offered me the opportunity to work full time and step into the legal field while pursuing my dreams of becoming a lawyer. I know that no matter what lies ahead, the evening program has prepared me for bar prep and my future career."
"It was really important for me to go to a law school where I felt like I belonged and am supported, and I feel that here at Duquesne Kline."
