Drexel University has long believed in the value of experience as a critical component of education and emphasized learning opportunities for its students outside the classroom. This educational philosophy led Drexel's Earle Mack School of Law to develop imaginative approaches to legal education in order to produce not only outstanding lawyers, but also members of the bar committed to serving the public good. The approach at Drexel Law addresses longstanding concerns of legal educators and employers that law graduates are unprepared for legal practice. Simply put, law students should have practical learning experiences while they are still in law school. Those experiences must be fully integrated into the curriculum with the institutional support and resources needed to make such a program succeed. Primary among our goals is integrating theory and practice for our students in a meaningful way. Key to achieving this goal is our commitment to experiential learning, most notably with our groundbreaking co-op program. By adapting the co-op model into the law school setting, we forge connections between legal educators, practitioners, and the public we aim to serve, thereby fostering a new civic professionalism. Drexel Law has received provisional accreditation from the Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association, 321 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60610. Students at a provisionally accredited law school and individuals who graduate while the school is provisionally approved are entitled to the same recognition given to students and graduates of fully approved law schools. Graduates of Drexel Law are eligible to sit for the bar exam in any jurisdiction. More on accreditation can be found on the ABA website or by calling the association at 312.988.5000.
