He received his doctorate as Dr. iur. and after the state examination in 1812 entered the Baden state service as a legal intern in Emmendingen . In 1815 he became attorney at court in Meersburg . In 1817 he came to Freiburg as a private lecturer and in 1818 became an associate professor for private and exchange law. 1819 appointed professor, he received in 1821 the title of Privy Councilor , in 1828 a secret Privy Councilor and in 1831 a Privy Council second class.

According to his political orientation, Duttlinger was one of the opposition at the beginning of his membership. He introduced applications to reduce the salt tax, campaigned for women's emancipation and insisted on ministerial responsibility.
