Starting this fall, students will enroll at Dickinson Law or Penn State Law. “This ranking recognizes the importance and value of our mission of practice primacy,” Gary S. Gildin, dean of Dickinson Law School, said in a statement. “Dickinson`s law graduates are newly qualified lawyers who are both theoretical and doctrinaire, able to communicate and learn from other disciplines, and equipped with the full range of practical and extra-legal legal skills required to act most effectively as lawyers at the local, state, national, transnational and international levels.” Bar throughput rates mirror those of new candidates for the Winter and Summer 2017 exams. The State has the highest number of law school graduates passed the bar examination for the period under review. Dickinson Law ranks #61 in terms of tuition fees among full-time law students ($50,582).
We rank out of a total of 283 tuition fees from 194 law schools and rank twice as many law schools that have different tuition fees inside and outside the state. It will be interesting to see how individual schools perform in similar rankings in the future.

That same year, however, Penn State beat nine other law schools to achieve the highest bar pass rate in the state with a pass rate of 93.83 percent. It is hoped that the ranking will recover as new classes of Commonwealth Scholars progress through the three-year program.
