Duquesne University School of Law recently announced it will dedicate a wall on the third floor of its building to honor prominent alumni including Hon. Timothy K. Lewis. The photos will appear on a rotating basis and include a brief description of each alumnus’ accomplishments. Judge Lewis is a graduate of the class of 1980.

Before joining Schnader, Judge Lewis served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. At the time, he was serving on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania when President George H.W. Bush elevated him for the newly created seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1992. At the time of both appointments, he was the youngest federal judge in the U.S. Before being appointed to the federal bench, Judge Lewis served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania and as an Assistant District Attorney in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Judge Lewis serves on the advisory board for The Peter Jennings Project for Journalism and the Constitution and The Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia; the board of directors for The Constitution Project and the American Arbitration Association; and is a member of the CPR Institute and American Law Institute; and a Fellow of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers. He also was recognized by The National Law Journal as one of publication’s 2010 “Champions and Visionaries,” which honors attorneys who have gone the extra mile to enhance the business of law and ensure justice is done.
