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.
