The Dickson Poon School of Law is the law school of King's College London, itself part of the federal University of London, and serves as one of the nine schools of study within 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. Among the most prestigious and selective law schools in the world, it is currently ranked in the global top 15[3][4] and fifth in both Europe and the UK.[5]
Following a donation of £20 million by Dickson Poon in 2012, the school was renamed in his honour.[6] The current dean of the school is Professor Dan Hunter.[7]
