Todo

Need the following:

  • Image of the law school building, school seal, and Italy campus

*Details on alumni. Famous alumni list perhaps?

  • Details on clinic- famous cases, etc. There was the case that got the youth out of jail. Appeared in the admission bulletin in 2007.
  • Something should be added about how the law school is ranked relatively low, yet has the bankroll and alumni reputation of a top tier school.

*Criticism section needed. --Longman391 19:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)\[reply]

  • Why does the article need a Controversy/Criticism section? A page can be NPOV without assessing controversy, right? Just stick to the facts. Also, I don't think it's controversial that GU's tuition is higher than other schools, it's just a matter of fact, and since each enrolling class is at or near capacity, it doesn't seem to affect much. I would say that based on the content of this section, it should be removed entirely.Thedjb 05:04, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess it depends on whether or not this section contains controversy, criticism, or both. While the cost of tuition for the law school certainly isn't controversial, it is most certainly often criticized.
Looking around, however, it seems that even the most detailed articles on US law schools don't contain a section discussing criticisms or controversy, so I have removed the section entirely. For examples, see Harvard Law SchoolYale Law SchoolUniversity of Washington School of Law--Longman391 23:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good idea to start this page and thanks for the hard work. The NPOV seems ok, but words such as "unique" when describing the Florence campus (as it should be called, not Italy), probably aren't necessary. Also, from what I understand, and a call to the Dean's office would clarify, the primary reason for the School of Law (as it should be referred to, not Law School) dropping back to Tier 4 was a reporting error regarding the number of graduates actually employed in a legal field (GU was reporting only those working in legal practice and it therefore appeared that a large number of grads were not employed, thus significantly dropping the school's score and, subsequently, ranking. Also, an infobox should be added, along with some sources, and a WikiProject template on the discussion page.Thedjb 05:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
