photo

Here is a photo of the academic building. Let me know if you want one of the library from my files. ~Chrisfortier

I'd love to see the library. Please do add the photo. Erechtheus 22:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Will do. If someone could write a little write up about the library, that would be a nice place to put the picture.chrisfortier 16:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Removal of shooting article

I might recommend the removal of the shooting article stub and slightly expand the information here in the Law School main article. Also, please make sure any changes conform to font and style within the original article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eljackso (talk • contribs) 04:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Upgrading the Article

How can we get this article up to a B-Class article? Where can this article improve? Chrisfortier 00:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Well, we did it...it is a GA Class article72.205.41.204 17:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

GA review

I have decided to place the article on hold, because it's very close to GA barring some minor fixes.

The major issues I see are consistency and prose. I don't think "Professional Responsibility" and "Alternative Dispute Resolution" in the lead paragraph need to be capitalized since they're not when repeated further down the article. The last paragraph under History mentions that the school has brought $12 million to the local economy, but when I checked the source cited, it's $12 million per year, which is an important point to add. The sentence after it about the pharmacy school is a bit choppy; I think it's sufficient to just say the pharmacy school was conceived in 2003 based on ASL's economic success. The first sentence of the Profile section might be a bit POV, and in any case doesn't really contribute to the demographics data which follows. I'm assuming the figures are from the LSAC profile; it may be better to lead in that paragraph with "according to LSAC data from 2005..." Has ASL never appeared in the US News rankings before 2007? That's a bit unusual but if that's the case then so be it. In the last sentence of the Campus section, "who" should be "which" - people are "who," things are "which" or "that." What is PASO? That acronym is not defined before its first use. I think the sentence about the 2L ADR requirement should be part of the listing of 2L courses that come before it. Is there anything more that can be written about ADR besides the Janet Reno quote? If so, it may be worth it to split ADR into its own subsection under Academic Program.

In the links section, Prof. Davis' article doesn't make it obvious from its title that it's about ASL. It might be better used as a citing source instead of an external link.

Finally, if the contributors to this article are current students, I think the pictures could be easily improved. The infobox picture is crooked, it may be repairable by a little Photoshop. The law library picture probably can do without the cars. Is the Atrium space really called the Atrium? I thought an atrium had to be an interior space, whereas the picture is of an exterior space - but I think that's a minor point.

I'll come back in a few days to look at this article again. Wl219 10:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC) I'll work on that...more thoughts tonight. chrisfortier

Thank you for the feedback...it is always appreciated! I have put in your fixes with one exception: the library photo with the cars. I am an alum living far away from the school so I am not able to wander over and get a photo of the library. If someone who is a student who can get a photo per the copyright rules uploaded, let me know. Yes, atriums are interior spaces. That spot used to be indoors ironically. In the remodeling of 1996-1997, they opened up the roof and called it the atrium. For the US News rankings, yes this is the first year ASL has appeared in the rankings. The school achieved full accreditation from the ABA in 2006 and US News looks only at fully accredited law schools. Former Dean Davis's article is in the references section. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Chrisfortier 01:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

GA pass

I'm going ahead and passing the article for GA status. Most of the suggestions in my review have been made; more minor fixes can be made but they don't detract from readability right now. Good job! Wl219 05:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Student Organization Building / Coffee House

The building is no longer used by either. It is a private eating establishment/bar called Serendipity now. The building is still owned by the school, but it is leased to Serendipity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.77.167.2 (talk) 22:30, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Appalachian Natural Resources Law Journal

Material from Appalachian Natural Resources Law Journal is most appropriate in, and will contribute to the further development of, the article on the 'mother institution'. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 10:10, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

• Support I don't see any evidence that this journal is notable, so short of outright deletion, this is the only acceptable solution. As nobody has opposed since this was proposed in May, I think you can safely go ahead. --Randykitty (talk) 08:06, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

I went ahead with the merger myself. --I dream of horses (T) @ 23:30, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Appalachian School of Law/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The 15-4-4 club is interesting, but I am not sure whether it is that relevant to the colllege as a whole, or whether it should remain to be on the article.
