Law School to Sponsor Group Admission to the U.S. Supreme Court

The Penn State Dickinson School of Law will sponsor a group admission to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, April 2, 2007, in Washington, D.C. The invitation is open to all Dickinson Law School alumni who meet the admission requirements of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar.

To qualify for admission to the Supreme Court Bar, applicants must have been admitted to practice in the highest court of a state, commonwealth, territory or possession, or the District of Columbia for a three-year period immediately preceding the date of application; must not have been the subject of any adverse disciplinary action during that three year period; and must be of good moral and professional character. Additional information for admission including the application can be found at http://www.supremecourtus.gov/bar/baradmissions.html on the U.S. Supreme Court Web site.

During the last group admission on April 4, 2005, more than 30 alumni were admitted upon the motion of General Alumni Association President Luci Jankowski McClure. Photos from the last admission ceremony, which one participant described as one of the most memorable events of his professional career, can be viewed at http://www.dsl.psu.edu/alumni/supcrt.cfm on the Law School's Web site.

Those interested in participating in the admission ceremony or who have any questions should contact Ed Savage, director of Alumni Relations, at ems24@psu.edu or (717) 240-5289. The group is limited to 50, and completed applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
