Thomas R. Kline School of Law: Empowered to Lead. Prepared for What's Next.

At the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University, our legal education offers a special emphasis on justice and service. We are guided by the Spiritan mission of dignity, respect, and grace for every person.

We empower our students and prepare them for what’s next—in leadership, service, and their careers. Combining our mission with a focus on the future is the priority of our student-centric Vision Fund that focuses on: 

  • Developing Collaborative and Interdisciplinary Learning Opportunities
  • Teaching Principles of Leadership
  • Fostering Student Well-Being

Your gifts during the 2023 Duquesne Day of Giving strengthen this Vision Fund and the commitment we make to our students to provide them with the knowledge and skills to reach their bigger goals. Your generous donations to our Duquesne Kline School of Law elevate our existing programs, such as our bar preparation and evening division, while creating new opportunities for our students.
