The Duquesne University School of Law proudly claims almost 5,800 graduates practicing in every field of law. Almost 30 percent of the practicing lawyers in western Pennsylvania are Duquesne graduates, and alumni can be found in all 50 states and several foreign countries. Duquesne-educated lawyers are partners and associates in every type of law firm, from large multinational offices to rural solo practices. They work as corporate counsel to Fortune 500 companies and small entrepreneurial ventures. They are directors of government agencies and public interest organizations, serve as district attorneys and public defenders, and teach at law schools throughout the United States.

An impressive number of Duquesne graduates are judges on the local, state and federal levels, including the highest courts, intermediate appellate courts and trial courts in more than 20 states. Among all law schools in Pennsylvania, Duquesne has produced the most judges seated on the Superior Court, Commonwealth Court and Courts of Common Pleas.
