The Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

The Pennsylvania State University — Dickinson School of Law is located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It was founded by John Reed in 1834, making it the fifth oldest law school in the United States and the oldest law school in Pennsylvania. The law school is home to over 600 law students, as well as a faculty and staff of over 100. In 2005 a dispute over whether or not to move the Dickinson School of Law to Penn State’s University Park campus in State College, Pennsylvania led to a “dual campus” proposal being enacted. U.S. News and World Report, in its 2007 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools, ranked the Dickinson School of Law 87th among the nation’s top 100 law schools. The Law School also features four academic journals, including the Penn State Law Review, formerly the Dickinson Law Review. The Penn State Law Review was founded in 1897, and is one of the oldest continually published law school journals in the country. Each spring, the school sends a softball team to participate in the University of Virginia Law School Softball Tournament.
