Gormley has served the 13th president of Duquesne University since 2016. He previously served as professor of law before being named dean of Duquesne’s School of Law. He joined the law faculty in 1994 following a career teaching at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law; working in private practice at the firm of Cindrich & Titus; and clerking for U.S. District Judge Donald E. Ziegler and Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Ralph J. Cappy.

Gormley’s work has earned him a reputation as a highly respected constitutional scholar and teacher whose research and creativity makes his classroom an exciting place to be. In addition, his books, which include the New York Times bestseller The Dean of American Virtue: Clinton vs. Starr, have won multiple awards. A past president of the Allegheny County Bar Association, he was the first academic to hold that position in the organization’s history.

He earned his B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh, summa cum laude, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He received his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1980, serving as a teaching assistant in constitutional law to Professor Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor during the Watergate scandal. Gormley authored the authorized biography, Archibald Cox: Conscience of a Nation in 1997.
