(Haruki Murakami, 1Q84) Drafting this dissertation has been a journey of discovery, and it would be almost impossible to list all the milestones, lessons learned and limits encountered on the way. Just as everyone who embarks on a long journey into the wild, the experience itself has afforded me a wealth of knowledge about the world around me and my role in it and more than I had thought previously possible. The biggest revelation was that no stage of this journey would have been possible without the many people whose support ensured my continuing even when I seemed to have hit a roadblock: Without their encouragements and understanding I would not be writing this acknowledgment. I would like to express my special appreciations and thanks to my two supervisors, Professor Dr.

A special pull-out section of this issue of The Dickinson Lawyer features a 175-year timeline with milestones that reflect how The Dickinson School of Law has helped shape our region, our country, and our world. The section ends with a photo “walk through” of our new and renovated facilities in Carlisle which will be dedicated on April 16. Together with our award-winning Lewis Katz Building at University Park, our new facilities provide our students with several unique advantages. In our courtroom, for example, students were recently able to observe Judge D. Brooks Smith ’76 as part of a Third Circuit panel hearing a last-minute death penalty appeal. In our classrooms, students compare con - stitutional issues with their peers in South Africa and Australia. In our library, students have 24/7 access to a vast collection of resources that puts answers at their fingertips. We’re also celebrating the 30-year anniversary of our clinical program, which began in earnest with our Family, Disability and Arts, Sports and Entertainment Law clinics. In 2008, we expanded our clinics to include opportunities for students to work on immigration and civil rights issues on a national level.
