(The Penn State Split)

Pound_hall_harvard_As I looked closely at the ABA letter regarding the Penn State application to split its single law school into two schools, I realized that the formal titles of the two law schools are:

"The Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University – University Park (Penn State Law)" and "The Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University – Carlisle (Dickinson Law)".  

I wonder if these are the only two law schools in the country with a parenthesis in their names.  I look forward to further use of punctuation in law school names.

We already have Atlanta's John Marshall Law School.  

Other possible ideas:
The Western Michigan University School of Law?  
Yale "Law School".

Of course, Harvard already has # Hall.

    Or, they could go with the law review colon convention–"Penn State Law: The Dickinson School of Law in University Park."

    There's a third campus in Philadelphia.

    It might have added drama to use ellipsis instead, as in
    The Dickinson. . . School of . . . Law. . . . of the Pennsylvania State University. . . University Park.
