Had a busy and exciting week @DuquesneKline. We wrapped up LRW for the 2025-26 academic year (a student brought cupcakes), had a mock class for local high schoolers #FutureVoices, and a great guest speaker (Prof. Allison W) in criminal law!

Celebrating #ConstitutionDay! Our Duquesne Kline Law faculty took a deep dive into the Supreme Court’s recent term—unpacking decisions, debating implications, and reminding us why constitutional dialogue matters now more than ever. 📜⚖️ #DuquesneKline #SCOTUS #ConstitutionDay

Day 2 in the books!

Panels, people, and powerful ideas. Grateful for the brilliant minds in every room and the hallway chats that sparked just as much insight. 📚✨

The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.”
