See the link below. From the article:
“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Law in University Park has been accepted into the Order of the Coif, an honor society founded in 1902 to recognize “excellence in legal education.” The honor will be awarded to Penn State Law juris doctor graduates who finish in the top 10% of their class and will include a notation on their official transcript marking their lifelong membership in the society.”
And,
““Penn State Law is privileged and excited to commence our chapter of the Order of the Coif, one of the oldest and most renowned legal honor societies in the United States,” said James W. Houck, interim dean of Penn State Law in University Park and the School of International Affairs. “Being admitted into the Order of the Coif as a member school is an impressive distinction, especially for such a young law school, and really speaks to the scholarly accomplishments of our faculty and students.””
I want to feel good about this, but I probably should temper my enthusiasm while waiting for someone here to tell me that this is a BIG. NOTHING. BURGER. .
