Thomas Kline is a well-known trial lawyer, who recently made a $50 million donation. It's the largest donation in university history.

On Wednesday, President Gormley unveiled the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University.

“Beyond the financial component, this is a big deal on a more fundamental level. In a very real sense, Tom Kline’s incredible story embodies the Duquesne story.”

This is the first time Duquesne has named a school in over 30 years. Kline previously donated $7.5 million in 2017.
