TEMPLE LAW SCHOOL'S TRIAL ADVOCACY DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM

The Temple Law School LL.M. in Trial Advocacy program is pleased to announce its new DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM! While all of our students are required to perform in person at Temple University at weekend programs (scheduled 10 out of 12 months over the course of our program year), Thursday evening lectures can now be viewed in real-time over the Internet. Current students telecommute from Montana, Washington state, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. If you are in a geographically remote location, you can apply for one of our highly competitive distance learning slots.
