One of Earle Mack School of Law’s founding principles is a commitment to professionalism. The Public Interest Law Program at Drexel will instill in our students a sense of duty to work in the public interest throughout their legal careers. While at Drexel, our students will use their skills and knowledge to provide legal services to individuals or groups traditionally underserved by the private bar. During their training in law school, our students will perform 50 hours of mandatory pro bono service and will also have the opportunity to work in a two-quarter public interest co-op. Our goal is that our students will seek full-time public sector employment or provide pro bono services while employed in the private sector. Whichever career path our students choose, Drexel Law is dedicated to encouraging and supporting students to contribute to and make a difference in their communities through public service work.
