Penn State Universityâ??s Dickinson School of Law enjoys a diverse and academically talented student body and a faculty befitting Penn Stateâ??s reputation as one of the worldâ??s great research universities. Faculty members include one of the nationâ??s leading scholars of corporate mergers and acquisitions, the worldâ??s preeminent expert of Russian law, leading scholars of commercial arbitration, renowned scholars of antitrust and law and economics, former law clerks to United States Supreme Court Justices, a leading scholar of international banking and finance, the first legal counsel to the African Union, the legal counsel to the Greek Presidency of the European Union, and other active and influential teachers and scholars in a wide range of substantive areas. In recognition of the important role that a law school plays in a great university, Penn State is investing more than $125 million in new signature buildings and programs for the Law School (occupancy in December 2008). This commitment is the largest single investment ever in an academic unit of Penn State.

The law schoolâ??s curriculum also includes a wide range of experiential learning opportunities, including semester-long government agency externships in Washington, D.C., and clinics that focus on child advocacy, immigration rights, appellate civil rights litigation, disability law, elder and consumer protection law, and family law. Additional substantive programs include a Center for the Study of Mergers and Acquisitions, an Institute for Sports Law, Policy, and Research, and an Instituteof ArbitrationLaw and Practice. Clinical professors include the former Deputy Director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and the former Deputy Director of the National Immigration Rights Forum.

The law schoolâ??s unique association with Penn Stateâ??s new graduate School of International Affairs enables it to offer courses by former ambassadors to United Nations, Peru, Thailand, and other nations, and by scholars of China, the Middle East, energy geopolitics and military and security affairs. The law school offers student exchange programs with the University of Cape Town, the University ofMaastricht, and other top foreign law schools. The law school also offers one of the oldest and most prestigious master of laws programs for foreign-trained lawyers. Since 1968, students from approximately 50 different nations have earned LL.M. degrees from Penn State Dickinson.
