Study with classmates who are passionate, principled and entrepreneurial. Law School Student Life We get it: Students’ lives involve more than classes, exams, co-ops and clinics. We encourage students to balance academic and law school activities with other parts of their lives. And we offer support to help them find that balance. Our Students. Your Future Colleagues. Our students are an entrepreneurial bunch. Some come straight from undergraduate programs, while others have years of professional work experience. Along with our faculty and administrators, they form a diverse, collaborative community of advisers and friends that get involved in student organizations, serve the local community and suggest new ideas about our programs and curriculum. They launched a special-education advocacy project; they persuaded us to offer a class on Animal Law and the school’s Haiti Justice Initiative was the handiwork of a particularly dedicated and ambitious student. We view our students as partners in advancing and sustaining the legal community and in raising the bar for legal education. Learn More Studying in Philadelphia.
