Despite our best efforts to present accurate information on our website, you might find something that needs to be updated. We want to hear from you! Below are contact information and our policies on social media and privacy.

Penn Carey Law makes WWW resources available to all segments of the Law School community and may provide listings of and/or links to web pages maintained by Law School faculty, students, staff, student organizations, non-University organizations, and others. The Law School web space contains web pages that have been created by its departments, or other administrative offices, as well as web pages generated by groups or individuals.

Penn Carey Law Communications and our administrative offices strive to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of our web pages. If you have a question or concern regarding any of these web pages, please contact the Communications Department or that department directly.

Personal, individual, or group web pages are not endorsed, edited, or approved by the University or the Law School. The content and the items accessible from the pages are the sole responsibility of their creators and do not represent positions, policies, or opinions of the University of Pennsylvania. If you have any questions about a particular page or document, please contact the site’s author directly.

Several Penn Carey Law and University of Pennsylvania web pages may contain links to web pages created by sources outside the University. The existence of these links does not suggest that the University approves or endorses the content of these web pages.
