If the board decides the law school should be with Dickinson College, Penn State may loose all affiliation with the school and would return to not having a law school, he said.

The historical school emerged as a separate school of legal philosophy in the early 19th century, after the positivist school had broken off from the natural law school.
In the late 20th century the historical school, which had predominated for almost a century, came under attack in Europe and America partly for exalting the spirit of the nation as the ultimate source of the development of law and partly for demeaning the positive role of the will of the lawmaker.
