Law School Board

Our Law School Board is the key external support group for the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law. It advises the president of the University and the dean of the School of Law and its faculty about the development of the law school’s academic, co-curricular, and extra-curricular programs. The members of the board were selected because of their experiences as practicing attorneys, judges and accomplished professionals. They represent a rich diversity of interests and have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the legal profession and public service throughout their distinguished careers.
