Jackson Vento, rising 3L, spent his summer at Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott in the Pittsburgh office. “I'm incredibly thankful to serve as a summer associate at a firm which, like me, has its roots in Pittsburgh. The firm attorneys and staff have been welcoming and willing to teach, which I am very appreciative of.”

In his role, Jackson conducted research and wrote memorandums, prepared pleadings, reviewed discovery materials, and attended hearings. He credits our Law School for preparing him for this work.

“Duquesne Kline Law has instilled in me a strong foundation in legal research and writing, which has helped me hit the ground running when it comes to taking on assignments. The law school faculty has done a remarkable job in not only teaching me the substantive foundational concepts of different areas of the law, but also in how to navigate a professional environment,” Jackson said.

Thank you to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania and our own Judge Jeffery A. Deller, L’96, for collaborating on such a meaningful program, "Duty, Service, and Second Chances: A Community Conversation on Veterans, Military Families, and Financial Well-Being." This event brought together judges, attorneys, law students, veterans, active-duty service members, military families, governmental agencies, veterans service organizations, legal aid providers, and community partners to discuss critical issues affecting our veteran community. We were honored to be included in such an important discussion of how to support those who have sacrificed so much on behalf of our country.

🍀🍀Twenty-four of our law students finished their spring semester and days later boarded a plane for a cross continental legal connection.

They traded Pittsburgh’s bridges for the lush green hills of Ireland as they embarked on a three-week study abroad trip. They studied in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and took excursions to learn more about international law, their lush surroundings, and the country’s history. 🍀🍀

“Beyond the people, Ireland's landscape did something to me I didn't anticipate. Some of the sites we walked through predate written history, and you get this weird sense of being one tiny link in an incredibly long chain of human life and memories. I sat with that feeling a lot during the trip, and it allowed me to put my own life into perspective and just feel grateful and present to be living through it all,” said Griffin Solomon, 2L.

As a Summer Intern in the Community Impact Unit of the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office, Emma Anmolsingh, rising 2L, assists attorneys on cases. She has completed research on issues including admissibility in trial and the existence of probable cause in searches and seizures, listened to jail calls, and reviewed body cam footage. Emma has observed and learned from various judges in the criminal division through court hearings such as suppression motions and jury trials. As a full-time intern, she also helped teach undergraduate interns about subpoena, expungement, and parole letter procedures. Emma felt she was prepared to enter her current role.

“My first year at Duquesne Kline School of Law taught me how to properly conduct legal research in an effective and efficient manner. Duquesne Kline School of Law highlighted the importance of making meaningful connections in the workplace and has taught me how to be confident in the courtroom through the 1L oral arguments. Because of Duquesne Kline, I feel prepared, excited, and motivated each day of my internship because I am confident in the skills developed through my 1L classes, taught by my professors, and reiterated through the Career Services Office and other mentors at Duquesne Kline,” Emma said.

Drew Weissman, rising 2L, is serving as a summer law clerk at Quatrini Law Group in Pittsburgh where he is writing briefs to appeal disability decisions. He is appreciative of the skills he is building and the opportunity to work with attorneys who encourage him.

“I am grateful that I get to learn how to apply my legal skills practically from an inspiring group of attorneys who are always available to give helpful feedback and contribute to my learning,” Drew said. He added this opportunity will allow him to be more efficient and critical with his legal research and writing skills when he returns to campus in the fall.
