Job Summary

Established in 2006, Drexel University’s Thomas R. Kline School of Law is a leader in U.S. legal education, with undergraduate, JD, MLS and LLM programs that prepare graduates to be great advocates and advance their careers.

This year, Kline Law placed in the top 20 nationally for graduate employment and #37 on Above the Law’s “Top 50 Law Schools,” and we’ve risen nearly 50 spots in U.S. News “Best Law Schools” rankings in the last five years.
