| “Knowing
what the law is and understanding how the law works
are two different concepts. Duquesne does an excellent
job of teaching each student true understanding
of how the law works. Each student must first learn
the basic skills of research, writing, and solid
oral communication. Only then can a student start
to learn ‘the black letter’ of the law
and how to apply it to different situations. Also,
students must learn how to build successful relationships
and contacts with their peers and their professors
as well. Duquesne’s presence in the legal
community is readily apparent, and those students
who learn to become part of this community tend
to be very successful as professionals. Finally,
a Duquesne law student will learn that his/her education
should not stop after graduation. Every Duquesne
law student should realize that although the law
is slow to advance, a Duquesne lawyer should be
quick to improve his/her skill as a compassionate
and caring lawyer. Furthermore, a Duquesne graduate
should realize that the ability to practice law
is a gift and those with such ability have a duty
to practice law for the betterment of their community.
Duquesne Law School teaches these ideals, for understanding
these ideals is to truly understand the law.” |
