Originally named "The Philadelphia Law School of the Temple College," the Law School was renamed "The Temple University School of Law" in 1910. In recognition of a major endowment gift by James E. Beasley, a Temple Law graduate... and distinguished Philadelphia lawyer, the Temple University Board of Trustees changed the official name of the school in 1999 to The James E.

In recent years, emphasis has been placed on developing "real world" skills and students are encouraged to participate in intensive trial advocacy or transactional programs and clinics.
