Law School Admissions
Transfer Applications
Transfer Students
Students may apply for transfer admission to
the Law School, but applicants should be aware
that the school accepts very few transfer students,
and in some years, no transfers are admitted.
Applicants for admission to a class other than
the first year who have begun the study of law
at another school must meet all regular requirements
for admission to the first-year program, along
with several other stipulations.
Requirements
Transfer applicants must present satisfactory
evidence of having been in regular attendance
at an ABA-approved law school, and must be in
good standing and unconditionally eligible to
return to studies at that school.
Before a transfer application will be considered
the applicant must have completed the equivalent
course requirements of a first year Day Division
student at the Duquesne University School of
Law.
Transfer applicants must meet all requirements
for a first-year student and must submit the
standard application and $50 fee along with
the following:
1) A Law School Data Assembly Service report (a copy from the current law school is acceptable).
2) An official transcript of all completed law school work.
3) A letter from the law school attended
certifying that the applicant is in good standing
and is eligible to return there. The letter
should not be written until the student successfully
completes all of his or her academic work in
which the student is currently enrolled.
Transfer applicants should apply by June 1.
Decisions on transfer students are made in mid-July.
