Penn State Dickinson Law School welcomes 130 LLM students
Penn State Dickinson Law has welcomed around 130 incoming Master of Laws students, alongside the JD Class of 2028, doctor of juridical science students, and exchange students to its Carlisle and University Park locations with orientation and convocation events.
The convocation speech was delivered via zoom so that students at both campuses could receive it at the same time. Penn State Dickinson Law Dean and Donald J Farage Professor of Law Danielle M. Conway said, “This convocation is special because we are dispersed and, simultaneously, we are together. How we come together today determines the strength of our community.”
All the new students spent three days gaining familiarity with Penn State Dickinson Law, enjoying educational sessions across both sites, covering topics such as navigating differing viewpoints and pursuing academic success.
Orientation volunteer Grace K. Boos explains, “This year’s orientation programming had crossover between locations, with several speakers presenting in Carlisle and being streamed to the University Park location and vice versa.”
Around 130 LLM students will be studying at the two locations, and they come from more than 30 countries, including China, Colombia, India, Ghana, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Uganda, Jordan, Germany, Norway, Latvia, Taiwan, Spain and Vietnam.
Previous roles that these Master of Laws students have held before enrolling on their LLM degrees at Penn State Dickinson Law include confidential secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources in Guyana, in-house counsel at Aramco, and legal officer at the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court in Thailand.
