Nearly a year after Northwestern Pritzker School of Law lost its dean to a role within the broader university, it has found a successor: Hari Osofsky, an energy transition and climate change scholar who is currently dean of Penn State Law.

Osofsky starts at Northwestern on Aug. 1, the Chicago-based law school announced Tuesday. She'll take the reins at a challenging time to lead any law school, after the coronavirus pandemic sparked campus shutdowns in 2020 and created a turbulent job market for junior lawyers.

"My approach as a new leader will really be to spend some time getting to know the Northwestern Pritzker law community," Osofsky said Tuesday. "Hearing where they think things are going well and where they think there's progress that needs to happen, and then working collaboratively with them to develop how we move forward."
