Law school attendance edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Sherman Minton attended law school at Indiana University, he graduated in 1915. His alma matter is now known as the "Maurer School of Law." As evidence, his Congressional biography indicates this, and the Maurer School's website indicates this. http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=m000800; http://law.indiana.edu/students/competitions/mootcourt/minton.shtml

Somebody has been editing Wikipedia to indicate that Sherman Minton attended a different law school, which is now known as the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. This is incorrect. McKinney itself does not claim Sherman Minton as a graduate. Of note is that while the McKinney school is currently affiliated with Indiana University, this affiliation did not begin until 1944. http://indylaw.indiana.edu/admissions/about.htm.

Whoever is editing Wikipedia with the incorrect information regularly cites, as authority, "Gugin (1997), p. 51." I looked that book up, and checked it out from the library. That page from that book includes the following sentences: "One day when a flash flood swelled the normal trickle of the Jordan River, actually a creek that winds through the Bloomington campus, Minton plunged into the churning water and was swept away. With great effort he managed to pull himself to safety after grabbing hold of a bush." That exact same page also includes a story about him building scaffolding outside of Assembly Hall, which is on the campus at Bloomington, "to see an all-girl show." The scaffolding collapsed, and he was injured. It is absolutely and abundantly clear that Sherman Minton attended law school in Bloomington, at what is now the Maurer School of Law.Musskel (talk) 14:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

First off, let me be clear: I am NOT the Wikipedia editor who "has been editing Wikipedia to indicate that Sherman Minton attended a different law school" as mentioned above. I am, however, a Wikipedia editor who has ties both to the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law and to the Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

The history of Sherman Minton's legal education is not as well-documented as Musskel suggests. True, it has been well-documented that Shermin Minton began his academic career at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. I don't at the moment have references in front of me that discuss this, but it has also been well-documented that Minton fell upon hard economic times when he was a student in Bloomington. And it has been documented that, prior to graduating with a law degree in 1915, Minton moved to Indianapolis, where he obtained a job as a law librarian at the Benjamin Harrison Law School, which is a predecessor of the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law.

Based on what I have read, the details of how and where Justice Minton completed his law degree remain unclear. It may be that Minton returned to Bloomington to complete his degree after working in Indianapolis. It may be that Minton enrolled in courses, or otherwise studied at, the Benjamin Harrison Law School and in some way relied his studies in Indianapolis to obtain his degree from Indiana University in Bloomington. Or it may be that Minton relied on his prior work at Indiana University in Bloomington to obtain a law degree from the Benjamin Harrison Law School in Indianapolis. So to reiterate, the details of how and where Justice Minton completed his law degree remain unclear.

Musskel cites two sources in support of the proposition that Minton graduated from the IU Maurer School of Law. One of those references is an IU Maurer webpage and the other is a found at the congress.gov website. With regard to the IU Maurer webpage, it is beyond argument that any law school would be pleased to claim a Supreme Court Justice as an alumnus. So the objectivity of that page should be questioned. As for the webpage found at the congress.gov website, I would be curious to learn when that page was created and upon what references it relies.

In view of the above, interested Wikipedia editors, including me, should confirm the details of how and where Justice Minton completed his law degrees.

Thank you for raising this point civilly, Lexalt. I am eager to participate. (For other readers of this page, please see the talk page of Sherman Minton, where this discussion has multiple participants). Musskel (talk) 00:24, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Update: The discussion on the other page ended with all parties in agreement: Sherman Minton graduated from the law school in Bloomington now called Maurer School of Law. Of note is that it was actually Lexalt who found very interesting resource from 1915 indicating that Sherman Minton was still employed at the law library in Bloomington. See pages 10, 36 of this document: "Indiana University Bulletin, 1915". Retrieved October 22, 2012.. Musskel (talk) 18:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in Indiana University Maurer School of Law edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Indiana University Maurer School of Law's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
