125 Years of Excellence in Legal Education

Since welcoming our first class in 1895, Temple Law School has pursued a vision for legal education that is as inspiring and powerful today as it was back then. Inspiring, because it has created opportunity for generations of talented people to join our profession who would not otherwise have had that chance; powerful, because for 125 years, the graduates of Temple Law School have driven incredible progress in our region, our nation, and our world. At the heart of this vision is the idea that by making a high-quality legal education accessible to people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, we can both strengthen communities and improve the legal profession. It is an idea that continues to bear fruit as Temple grows from our roots on North Broad Street to flourish around the globe.

Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, Temple Law will be celebrating 125 years of growth and service even as we look forward to the next century and more. The vision that drives us is more vital than ever, in a world that needs Temple Lawyers more than ever. I look forward to celebrating our history, but also to sharing my vision for our future with you at one of the many in-person and on-line events being held throughout the year. Together, we will achieve incredible things – I hope you will join us.

125th Anniversary Scholarship Fund

The story of Temple University Beasley School of Law is a story of promise and potential, stretching from the vision of Russell Conwell 125 years ago to a horizon limited only by the boldness of our faculty, students, and graduates. It is about the transformative power of a legal education offered to those with the ability to excel as students and advocates, whether or not they have the ability to pay. It is a story of access creating the opportunity for success –a story in which we all can play a part.

Scholarships drive this story in a critical way. They are a crucial component of Temple Law School’s ability to recruit and retain students with the talent and drive to not only succeed in our profession, but to lead and shape our communities for generations to come. Scholarships do more than get students in the door; they create the opportunity for young advocates to go where they’re most needed, to pursue their dreams and the cause of justice, and to build a fulfilling, productive practice without being overburdened by debt. They enlarge our vision for justice by introducing new voices and perspectives, creating a more diverse and inclusive legal profession. And they connect generations of Temple Lawyers to one another, reaching back and paying it forward, investing in each other, in Temple Law School, and in the value of a Temple Law degree.

With the money raised for scholarships during the 125th anniversary celebration, Temple Law students and alumni will add bold new chapters to this story. Join us as we reach together for untold horizons, and make our story part of yours.
