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, the Duquesne Kline School of Law reflects the University's unique and historical emphasis on justice and service to others.

The Elder Justice Consortium of Pennsylvania Law Schools (EJC) hosted a lunch and learn on April 9 for law students in honor of National Healthcare Decision Day. The event was held at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University. This was the first EJC event of its type bringing together law students from across Pennsylvania to discuss the important topics of Healthcare Decisions and Directives, Elder Law, and the EJC.
Spring semester’s break is anticipated as a chance to rejuvenate and relax before the last half of the semester, finals, and, for burgeoning graduates, before bar preparation and the bar exam. Professor and Director of Bar Studies Ashley London, however, spent the hiatus in Paris, teaching at the Sorbonne as part of a spring semester exchange. Likewise, Professor Sophie Robin-Oliver, of the Sorbonne, visited the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University’s Pittsburgh campus in April to teach.
