The Dickson Poon School Of Law

The Dickson Poon School of Law is the law school of King's College London, and one of the nine Schools of Study of the College. It is situated on the Strand in the East Wing of Somerset House, in close proximity to the Royal Courts of Justice and the four Inns of Court in the heart of London's legal quarter. The School was ranked as the 18th most prestigious institution for the research and teaching of law in the world. Following a donation of £20 million by Sir Dickson Poon in 2012, the School was renamed in his honour. In early 2016, students from The Dickson Poon School of Law beat over 550 Law schools from over 80 countries to win the 57th annual UK championships of the Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition, one of the largest moot court competitions in the world. The current acting Dean of the School is Professor Benjamin Bowling. HistoryLaw has been taught at King's College London since 1831. It was originally taught within the Senior Department. In 1839 teaching transferred to the Department of General Literature and Science in response to the need for a greater differentiation of the syllabus for students of the Senior Department at the King's. Law became part of a broad faculty of subjects and classes that provided a core liberal syllabus in the arts and sciences available to all students of King's. From 1893, it was known as the Division of Laws and Economics under the Faculty of Arts.
