The vision of the Earle Mack School of Law at Drexel University is extraordinarily exciting. We are building a law school that will produce outstanding, reflective practitioners. We are committed to providing students with excellent teaching across a broad-based classroom curriculum along with comprehensive opportunities for experiential learning through legal writing, co-operative education, and pro bono programs.  At the same time we are committed through our research activities to advancing the scholarly mission of a great research university.

Philadelphia has a legal community that is unmatched in its richness and quality. The bar has been most supportive of our launch. Our cooperative education and pro bono programs provide us with splendid opportunities to deeply engage with practicing lawyers. Our curricular concentrations in Business and Entrepreneurship Law, Health Law, and Intellectual Property Law match well the strengths of the bar and region's economy.  Our graduates thus will be well positioned to become the next generation of leaders of the profession in the region and nationally.

The work over the past two years to implement our vision has been astonishing.  Our first class of 180 students is a very talented, hard working group of individuals.  We added an equally talented class in the fall of 2007.  The faculty and staff that have joined Drexel to launch our venture also are outstanding.  We have a great mix of senior and junior faculty, professors who are committed to collaborating with our students to build a special law school.  Our law school faculty, staff, and students have created a real sense of community. We have developed an administrative infrastructure and law building to support our efforts, including a technologically advanced library.
