The University of Pennsylvania Law School and the London School of Economics and Political Science Law Department have signed an agreement which will facilitate a program for Penn Law JD students to spend the fall semester of their third year enrolled in LSE Law’s LLM (Master of Laws) program. Each year Penn Law will send up to three law students to LSE Law, where they will complete the Michaelmas term between September and December.
Jeremy Horder, Head of LSE Law, writes: “This is a historic agreement for the LSE Law department. We are delighted to be entering into partnership with the world-renowned Penn Law. We anticipate a long and fruitful relationship, furthering excellence in both research and study abroad.”
Penn Law Dean Ted Ruger adds: “Students selected to study at LSE Law will have the opportunity to build global peer networks while studying at one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the UK, in the heart of London. This agreement offers students a course of study in law from different perspectives, jurisdictions, and disciplines, while providing an unique opportunity for our students to engage with peers from all over the world and a faculty with a well-deserved global reputation for excellence.”
