THE ESSENCE OF PENN LAW

Penn Law's strengths - a superior legal education enhanced through cross-disciplinary studies and our deserved reputation as a congenial and stimulating environment - are reflected in all that we do.
A First-Rate Faculty:

Our faculty, an outstanding group of leading scholars in every major area of law, define Penn Law's intellectual vitality. A majority hold advanced degrees and more than a third have joint appointments with other of the University's great schools and departments. Penn Law faculty members are accessible to and engaged with their students, creating a dynamic learning environment.
Strength in Cross-Disciplinary Studies:

Penn Law has created a cross-disciplinary program that is unrivaled among the leading law schools. Recognizing that lawyers of the future will be well-versed not only in legal tradition but also in the broader fields of our society, Penn Law has embraced its relationship with the finest array of graduate and professional programs in the nation. Our law students take classes and earn certificates or joint degrees at schools and programs such as Wharton, the Annenberg School for Communication, the Center for Bioethics program - the opportunities available to our students are bounded only by their imaginations.
Students Thrive at Penn Law:

Penn Law ranked third in a national survey in student satisfaction. Our students overwhelmingly responded that if they had to do it over again, they would choose to come to Penn Law. A 2006 Penn Law J.D. student survey confirmed how much students appreciate their experience here at the Law School.
