Temple Law School is excited to welcome 69 international LLM, exchange, and SJD students this semester. This includes 38 new LLM students, 12 exchange students, and 19 returning students from 26 countries. They bring invaluable perspectives and are an essential part of the Temple Law community.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of the two-week orientation program. Thank you to the Temple faculty, staff, and students who participated, and to the Honorable Councilmember Nina Ahmad, the Honorable Judge Giovanni Campbell JD ’93, and Attorney Iryna Mazur LLM ’09 for addressing the students. We also thank John Sperger for leading the LLM mentorship program.
We also thank our law school partners for referring their students to us this semester and for their ongoing friendship and collaboration: Bar-Ilan University, Università Bocconi, Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Universität Luzern / University of Lucerne, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, University College Cork, and Utrecht University.
Finally, we celebrate and thank Senior Director Karen McMichael JD ’92 for her tireless dedication in supporting our students as they prepared for life in Philadelphia. As she embarks on retirement, we know the LLM program will continue to reflect her remarkable 33-year legacy of guidance, commitment, and care.
Here’s to a wonderful year ahead for our international students and the entire Temple Law community! #YouAreWelcomeHere
