Duquesne’s Office of Legal Affairs serves as legal counsel for Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit, its Board of Directors, officers, colleges, and academic and administrative departments, and is responsible for addressing all of the legal issues arising from Duquesne’s activities. The Office endeavors to render timely and thoughtful legal advice on the broad range of issues that the university's faculty, staff and administrators confront on behalf of Duquesne in furtherance of its mission.
The Office provides legal advice to members of the Duquesne community solely within the context of the course and scope of their employment with, or as authorized agents or representatives of, the University. The Office does not provide legal advice or representation to individual members of the University community with respect to personal matters or personal legal issues.
The Office is also responsible for engaging the services of outside law firms for specialized legal needs, and for coordinating and supervising their work.
This website is designed to familiarize Duquesne community members with Office staff and the services they provide. Please do not hesitate to contact us at legalFREEDUQUESNE if you require further information or need assistance with a University legal matter.
