Students
successfully completing internships will be awarded an
extra one-half (1/2) credit per week for a maximum of
three weeks. However, it is important for you to know
that acceptance of any credit or grade earned in the
Program, including internship, is subject to
determination by your own law school. Therefore, we
would urge you to check with your dean on this matter as
soon as possible.
An
examination will be administered and graded at the end
of the Program. The Duquesne University School of Law
grading system stated below shall be used for grading
the examination paper.
The minimum passing grade is C.

The classroom is newly renovated and is now equiped with electrical outlets for laptops. However, because China uses 220V outlets, an adapter may be necessary and can be purchased locally and inexpensively.
