Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law

Awesome first programming meeting at UGLaw!

Kline’s BA in Law is rooted in the idea that legal rules have to be understood in practice, not just in theory. When Black Lives Matters protesters marched in New York City in the summer of 2020 they were met by police who used violence, sound cannons, and arrests to break up demonstrations. Kline professor Elena Cohen is a practicing attorney and represented protestors in a historic class action lawsuit, Sow, et al. v. City of New York, et al. The suit resulted in a settlement of more than $13 million and substantial reforms to the NYPD’s protest policies, including banning “kettling” and the use of low-flying helicopters to intimidate protestors.

“Whether you choose to pursue a career in law or not, it’s always going to be information that’ll benefit you in your daily life, regardless of what you choose to do.” - Karen

Our students say it best! Whether it’s heading off to law school or gaining skills to advocate for yourself or community, the undergraduate law program will help you explore all different kinds of careers related to law.

😊Big smiles from the students and faculty who attended the Oxholm Colloquium this past Wednesday evening!
