Student Organizations

Duquesne University School of Law encourages students to become involved in one of the many student organizations at the Law School. Membership in student organizations broadens students' knowledge of the profession and enables students to build a link to the community of attorneys that they will soon be joining.

More about "Panucci's Promise"

Duquesne law students established "Panucci's Promise," in memory of Peggy Panucci, mother of 3L Brian Panucci, who passed away from breast cancer last fall. Various student organizations worked toward the common goal of raising sufficient funds to donate a therapeutic chair to the chemotherapy treatment center at Magee Women's Cancer Center. Since 2012 "Panucci's Promise" has donated 2 chairs in Peggy's name. The chairs benefit local women in treatment by providing comfort during their most difficult times.
