In 1997 the University of Pennsylvania Law School unveiled a Strategic Plan that established a course for the Law School at the dawn of the 21st century. When Michael A. Fitts was named Dean of the Law School in 2000 his first objective was to assess the progress made toward achieving the goals of the Strategic Plan. Next, he determined what needed to be done to complete the stated goals. The numerous achievements so far, and a strategy for how the Law School will accomplish the remainder of the objectives in the plan, are highlighted in the pages that follow.
