Temple Law's new international students arrived this month from 18 different countries.

The LL.M. for Foreign-Trained Lawyers is one of the longest-running programs of its kind in the United States. Students come in as practicing attorneys, government counsel, and legal academics, then spend the year studying American law alongside our J.D. students, with a bar-track option for those who plan to sit for a U.S. exam.

It's 24 credits over two semesters, with study tracks that let each student build the degree around what they already practice.

Welcome to Temple Law!

Temple Law's Rome Summer Study Abroad Program puts students in the middle of the material: comparative and international coursework in employment law, sports law, negotiation, mediation, and sovereignty, taught alongside Italian practitioners who work in these systems every day.

Four students from this summer's cohort — Miguel Angel Gonzalez (LAW '28), Kelly Miller (LAW '27), Noémie Peou (LAW '27), and Elizabeth van Laeken (LAW '28) — shared their takeaways on studying Vatican sovereignty while living minutes from it; building connections with professors and classmates that a regular semester doesn't leave room for; seeing how a strike by Roman bus drivers plays out under Italian law; and taking coursework you won't find in any other legal study abroad program.

Students got their introduction to Temple Law’s clinical programs this week, with opening remarks from Kean Family Dean Lonnie T. Brown Jr.

Professors Jennifer Lee, Sarah Katz, Mary Levy, Len Rieser, Laura Bingham, Omeed Firouzi and Spencer Rand walked through what client-based work actually asks of a student attorney. Using scenarios drawn from real practice, they focused on the habits that hold a case together: close collaboration with supervisors and teammates, clear and consistent communication, and disciplined organization and sharing of information.

Social Justice Lawyering, Access to Justice, Family Justice, Appellate Litigation, Tech Justice, Low Income Taxpayer and Community Lawyering are among the clinical offerings at Temple Law.

Good lawyering is collaborative, and the clinics are where students learn that first.

Orientation week closed with "A Welcome From the Bar" — three Temple Law grads return with unique perspectives on what comes after law school.

Amando Dominick, Esq. LAW '21 spoke from the prosecution table as an assistant district attorney at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. James Dykman LAW '24 brought the view from chambers, clerking for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Emilia McKee Vassallo LAW '14 talked about the long arc of building a practice as a partner at Ballard Spahr LLP, where she handles white collar defense and internal investigations.

Public service, the federal courts, private practice. Thanks to all three for coming back and sharing what you know with our 1Ls.

What's the Hampel Method?

It's a six-step approach to advocacy training developed at the English Bar, and the framework behind the National Advocacy Training Program, coming to Philadelphia this October.

Rehana Azib KC, Head of Employment Law at 2 Temple Gardens, and Bibi Badejo, Director of The Advocacy Coach, explain how it works.

NATP is a two-day intensive offered by the American Inns of Court in collaboration with Temple Law's Advocacy Program. Trainers are members of the Inns of Court College of Advocacy in London, working in groups of six to eight so every participant gets direct, personal critique.

Oct. 28–29 | James A. Byrne U.S. Courthouse, Philadelphia

Ask for help. That was the whole message.

Incoming students heard from Laurie Besden, executive director of Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania. Besden lost her law license to addiction. She got it back. She now leads the organization that helps lawyers, judges and law students across the commonwealth do the same.

Joining by Zoom was the Honorable Ann M. Butchart '93 (Ret.), who spent two decades on the Court of Common Pleas bench in Philadelphia and has been open about her own long recovery.

Depression, anxiety, substance use, burnout — none of it disqualifies you from this profession. Struggling in silence is what does the damage.

LCLPA is free, confidential and available around the clock to Pennsylvania lawyers, judges, law students and their families. A real person answers.

The first thing our new students did at Temple Law wasn't a class. It was a promise.

During orientation, the Day Division Class of 2029 and Evening Division Class of 2030 took the Temple Law Pledge of Professional Commitment — a commitment to conduct their academic, professional and personal lives with honesty, dignity and care, and to treat every colleague with fairness and respect, even in disagreement.

No one is required to take it. Everyone is asked to keep it — here, and for the rest of their careers.

Orientation week continued Tuesday morning with "Meet the Judiciary," a panel for our incoming 1Ls featuring Justice Daniel D. McCaffery, Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; The Honorable Timika Lane, Superior Court of Pennsylvania; The Honorable Megan Sullivan, Superior Court of Pennsylvania; and The Honorable Christopher Mallios, Court of Common Pleas, First Judicial District of Pennsylvania.

Each talked about finding their calling in the law, and encouraged students to follow the opportunities in front of them.

Our thanks to all four for making the time.
