The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) advocates for diversity in law schools. They believe—as do we in the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University—that
access to justice is essential for a democratic society, and diversity in the legal
profession increases the likelihood of access for people from an increasingly diverse
population.
Further, diversity in law schools enables individuals from a wide range of backgrounds
to add their perspectives to the greater legal community.
Duquesne Kline School of Law is dedicated to creating a truly diverse community of scholars. Today, our students
have more opportunities than ever to study with future colleagues from a multitude
of socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. They learn from professors who bring diverse
experiences into the classroom—and they experience firsthand the U.S. legal industry
transforming into a more diverse profession.
Impactful speakers have been welcomed on campus including U.S. Attorney General Eric
Holder, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote and the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University
named Roshni Master as the 2023 recipient of the Trial Skills Diversity Scholarship.
