Overview
At the forefront of teaching Trial Advocacy, Temple University Beasley School of Law has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the top three trial advocacy programs in the country for more than twenty years.
Designed for the practicing attorney, the program is a one-year, 24-credit degree program. Classes are scheduled on most of the Thursday evenings throughout the semester from 6 – 9 PM and, in addition to the August Bootcamp, students must attend scheduled performance weekends on our Philadelphia campus (see tentative schedule, below). Our distance-learning component allows students not residing in the tri-state area to stream the Thursday evening lectures and demonstrations.
