The
Appalachian School of Law exists to provide opportunity for
people from Appalachia and beyond to realize their dreams
of practicing law and bettering their communities. We attract
a qualified, diverse and dedicated student body, many of
whom will remain in the region after graduation and serve
as legal counselors, advocates, judges, mediators, community
leaders, and public officials. We offer a nationally recruited,
diverse and well-qualified faculty, a rigorous program for
the professional training of lawyers and a comprehensive
law library. The program emphasizes professional responsibility,
dispute resolution and practice skills. The ASL community
is an exciting student-centered environment that emphasizes
honesty, integrity, fairness and respect for others. We also
emphasize community service and staff and faculty development.
At the same time, we are a full participant in our community,
serving as a resource for people, the bar, and other institutions
of the region. (adopted by the Board of Trustees March 14,
