Pennsylvania State University in State College, wanting to add a law program without adding to the number of new lawyers, solved the problem: its board voted to merge with an existing institution, the Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle, about 100 miles away./The merger gives Penn State a way to educate those students in-house, and it gives Dickinson Law access to Penn State's formidable fund-raising operation and electronic information system. Beginning in July, Dickinson's 520 law students will receive Penn State degrees, and Dickinson employees will be placed on the university payroll.
All the sordid details of the extremely messy marriage of a fine old independent law school to the Happy Valley football factory.
