At a time when plunging enrollment has law schools struggling to balance their budgets, an extra million or so dollars couldn't hurt.

What about $50 million?

That's how much Philadelphia trial lawyer Thomas R. Kline is donating to Drexel University School of Law. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, it is one of the largest gifts ever to a U.S. law school.

The money, which will fund scholarships as well as faculty salaries, is meant to put the eight-year-old school "on a firm financial footing and, in particular, establish it as a force for the practice of trial advocacy," Drexel president John A. Fry told the paper.

The school will also be renamed after Mr. Kline, leading Law Blog to wonder if law schools are the new stadiums. According to the Inquirer, Drexel's law school was originally named after Earle Mack, a Drexel alumus and early competitor, but "his name came off the school several years ago, however, to create new fund-raising opportunities, university officials said."
