Thomas R. Kline School of Law
The school's Thomas R. Kline Institute of Trial Advocacy is the only facility of its kind in the U.S. Taking advantage of its location within a rich legal community in Philadelphia, law students engage with practicing lawyers through cooperative education and pro bono programs as well as a variety of experiential learning opportunities in a vast range of practical settings.
Working in small classes with faculty who are also accomplished law practitioners, students have the opportunity to specialize in one of the following concentrations: business and entrepreneurship law, criminal law, health law, and intellectual property law. Additionally, JD students are guaranteed a placement through Drexel's signature co-op program in a variety of practice areas to gain real-world experience, build their résumés, and network.
Drexel is undertaking a bold designed to align our distinctive strengths, academic structure, and strategic goals with our mission to prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving world. As part of this multi-year initiative, we will transition to a semester calendar, restructure several Colleges and Schools, and bolster our curriculum to better reflect the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s leaders. While these changes may lead to updates in academic programs, they are not expected to significantly disrupt students’ current plans of study. Every aspect of this transition is being carefully planned to ensure continuity, with a strong commitment to supporting students throughout the process.
