Comments
"One of the key benefits of the Allen Chair was the opportunity for a team approach to teaching. Each of the scholars has an expertise in a given field of law, and together they, the students, and I participated in active discourse examining the facets of Tort Law. Working with the Allen Chair scholars has a great value for me as a professor of law; a value which, I believe, will make me a more proficient teacher. The Allen Chair has proven true the axiom that the sum is greater than the individual parts." - Okianer Christian Dark, Esquire, Professor of Law
"The impact of the Allen Chair professors on the Law School community has been tremendous. They have stimulated our students, engaged our faculty, and informed our alumni. Their presence on campus adds greatly to the intellectual and professional atmosphere of the Law School." - Joseph D. Harbaugh, Dean
