TEMPLE ... where law meets life

Welcome to Temple University Beasley School of Law. Here at Temple, we believe that law comes to life through the people who practice it every day. From our students, who come from all walks of life and all corners of the globe, to our graduates, who leave prepared to practice anywhere, Temple lawyers are trained to shape the law in service to the lives they touch. They are more than leaders: they are innovators whose thoughtfulness, vision, and courage are quickly put to work in our communities, our nation, and our world. It’s what Russell H. Conwell envisioned when he founded Temple University in 1884 and it remains central to what we do today.

At the heart of the Temple Law community is our outstanding faculty. They blend ground-breaking scholarship with real world experience and a passion for teaching, so that students can fully grasp the power of law to change lives. Temple law professors are not content to teach from the casebook and the podium; they are here on the strength of their leadership in the real world and they are committed to addressing problems in the real world. It is this passion – alive in our faculty, our students, and Temple lawyers everywhere – that makes Temple Law the place where law meets life.
