Sungkyunkwan University Law Professor Patricia Goedde | Institutional Pathways for Public Interest Lawyering in South Korea

Delighted 성균관대학교(Sungkyunkwan University) Law Professor Patricia A. Goedde spoke at 2nd 성균관대학교(Sungkyunkwan University)-Penn State Dickinson Law lecture this week. The virtual lecture was open to Penn State Dickinson Law communities at both locations and the Sungkyunkwan community and a good number joined us. Dean Danielle Conway welcomed Professor Goedde and noted the significance of Sungkyunkwan's name - "an institute to make a harmonious society." Professor Goedde delivered a thought-provoking lecture titled "Institutional Pathways for Public Interest Lawyering in South Korea." Her expertise and commitment to human rights and public interest advocacy were evident throughout her talk. It was especially meaningful to hear her thoughts on the evolving institutional landscape—from public interest law firms to law firm pro bono centers—and the role of legal education in supporting this vital work. The continuous stream of questions and comments spoke volumes about the interest Professor Goedde's talk generated. #PublicInterestLaw #HumanRights #LegalEducation #SocialJustice #RefugeeAdvocacy #PennStateDickinsonLaw #EastAsianLaw

SKKU-PSDL | Global Lecture Exchange Series

Transnational dialogue and collaboration are as important today as ever. My visit to 성균관대학교(Sungkyunkwan University) Law School last October laid the foundation for a new series of virtual lectures with Penn State Dickinson Law, with each law school alternating as host. I enjoyed speaking with faculty and students at what, as I learned, is East Asia's oldest university about the latest global AI and IP developments, including South Korea's recent AI legislation. I look forward to hosting Sungkyunkwan Law Professor Patricia A. Goedde for her lecture to our community on "Institutional Pathways for Public Interest Lawyering in South Korea" on April 2.
