Janene Druck is a member of the civil litigation practice group at McQuaide Blasko, where she concentrates her practice on medical professional liability defense. Her work encompasses all aspects of the civil litigation process, and she has experience with alternative dispute resolution through arbitration, mediation, and negotiation. Druck is a member of the Dauphin County Bar Association and the Pennsylvania Bar Association, where she serves as a member of the Civil Litigation Section Council and Membership Development Committee. She has authored multiple articles published in the PBA’s Civil Litigation Update newsletter.
Druck graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. in Psychology, and had a rewarding career in human services. She worked variously as therapeutic support for children with psychological and behavioral disorders, a program instructor and group home manager for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, a case manager and regional program coordinator for a foster care agency in North Carolina, and a recruiter for a foster care agency in Pennsylvania. After 13 years in the workforce, and with the support of her family, Druck decided to pursue a different path, and enrolled full-time as a non-traditional student at Dickinson Law.
During law school, Druck completed a year-long externship with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, earned recognition as a Miller Public Interest Advocate through her work with Mid Penn Legal Services, volunteered with the Bethesda Mission Legal Intake Clinic and Wills for Heroes, and participated in the William W. Lipsitt and Cumberland County American Inns of Court. She was published in the Law School’s Yearbook on Arbitration and Mediation, and was the recipient of an IOLTA Summer Fellowship, an ALI-CLE Scholastic and Leadership Award, CALI Awards for Law and Medicine and Lawyering and Ethics for the Business Attorney, and the Laura Davis Jones Award for Excellence in Bankruptcy Law.
Penn State Dickinson Law and Penn State Law are reunifying to operate as Penn State University’s single law school, which will be known as Penn State Dickinson Law. While ABA approval for the reunification is pending, both schools are currently fully accredited. We submitted an application for acquiescence to operate as a single law school in July 2024 and plan to enroll a unified class in Fall 2025. Once reunification is complete, the separate faculties of each school will be members of the reunified Penn State Dickinson Law faculty.
