TEMPLE UNIVERSITY JAMES E. BEASLEY SCHOOL OF LAW • LAW SCHOOLANDALUMNINEWS • WINTER 2005As another year draws to a close and I reflect on everything we’veaccomplished in recent months, I find myself deeply grateful for theexceptional support of our alumni and friends. I would like to take thisopportunity to both express myappreciation and report on some of theexciting changes taking place at theLaw School that have been madepossible by your generosity.During the last fiscal year, the LawSchool received more than $11 million in external support—close to $8.5 million from individuals andover $2.7 million in grants fromgovernment, corporations, andfoundations. The school’s endowmentnow exceeds $46 million. As evidence of this support, ourfaculty has expanded substantially.This year, we added four full-timefaculty members. Peter Huang,inaugural appointee to the Harold E. Kohn Chair in Law,and JonathanLipson are both prominent, widely-published scholars, and N. Jeremi Duru and Andrea Monroe are two promising entry-level faculty,who have already received awards for theirprofessional accomplishments and teaching. Theseindividuals will add considerable strength to our teaching andscholarship in corporate and commercial law, securities law,behavioral law and economics, employment discrimination,and corporate taxation. Although applications to law schools decreased nationallylast year, applications to Temple Law rose 17% to an all-timehigh of 5,312 bids for 325 available seats. The academiccredentials of this year’sentering class are the best in the lawschool’s history. This is not to say, however, that we havestrayed from our historic mission of providing access toquality legal education for talented students without regard totheir financial means. Increased availability of financial aid,due in large part to alumni support, coupled with aprogressive admissions policy,has enabled us to better servethose talented students who might not otherwise fulfill theirambitions. As throughout the history of the law school, many of our entering students arethe first in their families toattend college. And, as a testament to the school’s diversity,over two-thirds of new students bring with them substantialprevious career accomplishments or earned advanceddegrees. With the increasing globalization of the economy, we are—of both choice and necessity—becoming an international lawschool. This year,our J.D. students earn credits toward theirdegrees in summer programs in Italyand Israel and in semester programs inJapan, China, and Ireland. We werethe first American law school to offerJ.D. students a full semester of studyin Asia. Last spring, 57 Americanstudents studied alongside 63Japanese attorneys earning credits forthe LL.M. degree during the semesterabroad program in Tokyo.We were also the first American lawschool to institute a foreign law degree-granting program in China. Theprogram’s fifth graduation was held inBeijing on October 30, and thenumber of graduates—who arerisingChinese judges, prosecutors,government officials, law professors,and private attorneys—now exceeds200. Our partner in this endeavor,Tsinghua University Law School,recently initiated its own study-abroadprogram enabling Temple law studentsto study in Beijing this fall. Additionallyon the international front, AssociateDean JoAnne Epps and I had a successful trip to Ghanaduring the summer; we expect to soon re-establish ourexcellent exchange program with the University of Ghana.Here at home, also thanks to your support, I am pleasedto reportthat we have completed our 10-year project to fullyrenovate and modernize the law school’s physical facilities.We now reside in three state-of-the-art buildings on Temple’sMain Campus. The renovation and technological transfor-mation of Klein Hall (including the Law Library)werecompleted last summer; Shusterman Hall, our conferencecenter, was dedicated in 1997; and Barrack Hall, whichcontains smartclassrooms, administrative offices, studentoffices, lounges, and meeting rooms, was dedicated in 2002.If you have not visited our new facilities, I encourage you todo so in the near future. You will be delighted by what youfind here.Once again, our pride in these accomplishments iscoupled with our sincerest gratitude to those who helpedmake them possible. The continued loyalty, dedication, andsupport of our graduates and friends is essential tomaintaining the quality and accessibility of a Temple legaleducation for future generations of law students.Sincerely,ROBERTJ.
