DICKINSON JOINS PENN STATE

Compiled from National Law Journal staff, correspondent and Associated Press reports.

philadelphia-Penn State University announced plans Jan. 13 to merge with the Dickinson School of Law, acquiring the one major professional school it has long lacked, university officials said. By merging with an existing school rather than creating one, Penn State will broaden its curriculum without adding to the already overwhelming number of law school graduates in the state, said John A. Brighton, Penn State executive vice president and provost. The new school would be named The Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University on July 1, and the two schools would merge officially in 2000, he said.
