Clinic Selection/Registration ‘12-‘13


Next year we will be offering a NEW Civil Litigation Field Clinic with Philadelphia Legal Assistance, as well as continuing from this past year with the Criminal Litigation Clinic at the Defenders Association of Philadelphia and the In-House Appellate Litigation Clinic.

The clinics are open to all 2L and 3L students, with preference going to 3Ls. Students participating in the clinics spend 16-20 hours per week at their placements for the entire academic year. The field component of all of the clinics includes a seminar conducted on-site, which is directly related to the subject matter of the clinic.

All clinic students are also required to take the Justice Lawyering Seminar, which will be taught in the Fall Semester. Students can earn 2 or 3 credits for the seminar, depending upon whether they choose to write a research paper for their grade. If so, they will receive the additional credit in the spring.

The total number of credits for the clinics is 14 or 15, which includes 12 (6 per semester) for the field component, and 2 or 3 for the Justice Lawyering Seminar.

A detailed description of each clinic and instructions on how to apply are available at http://earlemacklaw.drexel.edu/docket/enewsletter/032612/Clinic-Registration-12-13.pdf.

Public Interest Experience Grants

Public Interest Experience Grants provide stipends to Earle Mack School of Law students who are taking unpaid, summer public interest positions. These students are committed to the public interest and intend to pursue a public interest career after law school. The purpose of the grant is to offset the cost of living for students who incur significant financial burden by taking an unpaid position for the summer. It is our hope that students will gain invaluable experience, skills, contacts, and insight to further enable them to find employment after law school in the competitive practice of public interest law.

The 2012 PIE Grant Application Packed can be downloaded in PDF format here: http://www.earlemacklaw.drexel.edu/career/students/pubinterestlaw/pubinterest_summer_grants/
All applications must be submitted by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, March 30.

Office of Financial Aid

Scholarship Information and Financial Aid for 2012-13

All rising second and third-year students receiving EMSoL Merit Scholarships, as well as those students applying for financial aid, MUST submit an Institutional Financial Aid Form (http://drexel.edu/src/financialaid/forms/~/media/Files/src/financial-forms/institutional_fa_app.ashx) .

This form requests the number of credits you are planning for the Fall Semester 2012 and for the Spring Semester 2013. Please make a note of the information you submit and complete a revised form if your registration changes. Financial aid budgets, as well as per credit scholarships, are based on this information. Incorrect forms can result in billing and financial aid issues later in the year.

All students interested in applying for Federal Financial Aid for the 2012-13 academic year should submit their FAFSA by May 1, 2012. FAFSA on the web (www.fafsa.gov) now allows applicants to access their IRS tax information and have it automatically inserted into the FAFSA. There is a brief series of questions to determine if you are eligible for this data retrieval service.


Financial Aid for Summer

Students interested in receiving financial aid for the Summer Semester at the law school should note the following:

  • The tuition charge this summer will be $996 per credit after the law school’s 20% discount is applied. The General Fee will be $390.
  • Law Merit Scholarships cannot be applied to summer tuition.
  • Students taking at least 4.5 credits or half time enrollment can take out Federal Graduate Plus Loans to cover their expenses. You can start applying for summer loans the second week of April at www.studentloans.gov
  • Living expenses for 3 months as well as tuition and fees are added to a summer student’s 2011-2012 budget. Loan funds can then be used to cover these costs if needed. Funds will be scheduled to disburse May 14, 2012 with refunds issued by the Bursar’s Office over the following 2 weeks.
  • There are no additional financial aid applications necessary as long as your FAFSA for 2011-12 is on file with the school.


Samuel F. and Sara G. Feinman Fund


The fund provides an interest-free loan of up to $5,000 to medical and law school students based on financial need. Preference is given to students who live in the Greater Philadelphia region and of the Jewish faith who are enrolled in an accredited local Law or Medical school. It is a requirement of this fund that loan repayments begin within five years after graduation, ensuring that future funds will continue to be available for students in need. Applications are available at http://www.jewishphilly.org/page.aspx?id=124638 and must be submitted by May 15, 2012.
