University of Pennsylvania Law School students will soon be headed to business school—The Wharton School, to be specific.

This fall, Penn will launch a partnership with Wharton aimed at providing law students with key management and business skills. Second- and third-year students will have the option to spend a semester in an executive management course specifically designed for them, taught by Wharton faculty, and housed within the business school. "The idea is that the practice of law occurs within large organizations now, and as a lawyer you need to be thinking about how to manage that entity," says law dean Michael Fitts.
