Temple University, Beasley School of Law

What Temple University, Beasley School of Law does

Temple University Beasley School of Law is a professional graduate school within Temple University, a public research university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1895, the school is ABA-accredited and confers the Juris Doctor (J.D.), multiple LL.M. degrees (Trial Advocacy, Taxation, Transnational Law, Asian Law, International Business Law, and a program for foreign-trained lawyers), an S.J.D. doctoral degree, and a Master of Science in Taxation. Its core technology footprint is limited to third-party digital exam delivery (ExamSoft/Examplify); the institution is not a technology company and has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition from J.D. and graduate law students on a cohort-recurring basis, supplemented by philanthropy such as the 2026 $5 million gift from Richard Oller LAW '79 that established the Oller Center for the Rule of Law. Go-to-market is sales-led admissions, executed through the school's website, information sessions, campus tours, and social channels targeting prospective U.S. and international students. The customer base is segmented horizontally across J.D. candidates, foreign-trained lawyers seeking LL.M.s, doctoral researchers, and visiting research scholars, with a primary concentration in J.D. and LL.M. enrollment.

The school's value proposition centers on experiential learning (clinics, externships, judicial internships, the D.C.-based Law & Public Policy Program) integrated with doctrinal instruction, layered on regional Philadelphia and global alumni networks and study-abroad options in Rome, Tokyo, and Beijing. The institution is currently led by Interim Dean Kristen E. Murray, with Lonnie T. Brown, Jr. named as incoming Kean Family Dean in 2026.
