Temple University School of Law stands apart from other law schools. We have a unique student-centered curriculum that integrates both critical thinking and practical legal skills. Students at Temple build lawyering skills both in the classroom and in the law firms, courts, civic organizations and financial institutions of center city Philadelphia and the surrounding region. As a result, our graduates have a head start. They graduate ready to perform skillfully in the legal marketplace.

We believe that some things just have to be learned by doing. You can't learn to ride a bicycle from a manual, you can't learn how to be a lawyer by watching even the best of lawyers, and you can't improve if mistakes are only imagined. At Temple, students don't just read, watch or imagine. They do those things and more; they do the work of attorneys. It sounds simple, but it works.

Whether you are just starting out in your pursuit of a career in law and are interested in our J.D. degree program, or are a seasoned lawyer seeking to enhance your skills in one of our LL.M. or graduate programs, we invite you to explore this site and learn about our programs, students and outstanding faculty of law.
