“One of the reasons why Duquesne should be considered by a prospective law student is that the School is located in a wonderful community, Pittsburgh. The University and the School of Law sit on the top of one of the city’s highest points. The view is both magnificent and inspiring. The energy of a great city is part of Duquesne and Duquesne is part of a great city’s legacy. A lot of people who have never been to Pittsburgh perceive it as an old, burned-out steel town. I think that those people are pleasantly surprised when they see how much Pittsburgh has to offer. The Andy Warhol Museum is just one example of the growing cultural center of Pittsburgh. The riverfront property offers great entertainment. Also, two new separate state-of-the-art stadiums have been built for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Obviously, lawyers will be needed in many different areas to facilitate all of the growth and expansion and to keep this city moving into the 21st century.”
