At Drexel Law, professionalism is taught in the classroom and in the community. Professionalism begins at orientation, with a program on professionalism that engages students with ethical issues with practitioners from the Philadelphia legal community. It extends to the Co-op experience, in which students take a seminar along side the Co-op experience, to learn about ethical and professionalism issues in context with a knowledgeable Co-op professor. Classroom professors integrate ethical issues throughout the law school curriculum.

Students at Drexel Law also learn directly about the professional obligation to improve access to justice by performing at least 50 hour of pro bono service prior to graduation. At the same time, they will be introduced to Philadelphia's committed public interest and pro bono community.

Professionalism also includes participating in the local legal community and being part of it even before graduation. To maximize these opportunities, every student at Drexel Law is a member of the Young Lawyers' Division of the Philadelphia Bar Association and can participate in its activities and initiatives. In addition, students can take advantage of the diversity of the bar and have the opportunity to become members of a number of professional societies, including:

These organizations provide support and mentoring to our students, and allow students to ease the transition from law student to practicing lawyer.
