Nestled
in downtown Grundy amidst the majestic Central Appalachian
mountains, the Appalachian School of Law provides an exhilarating,
yet challenging environment to pursue the Juris Doctorate
degree. Our new campus, marked by traditional architecture,
contains modern classrooms, seminar rooms, moot court rooms,
lounge and offices; state of the art computers and interactive
communications technology; and a solid, growing library collection.
We are proud of the faculty led by Dean Clinton W. (Wes) Shinn. Committed
to excellent teaching, these faculty members who have been
recruited nationally will guide your study of the theory
and practice of law. The talented library staff provides
extensive services. Our relatively small size fosters close
relationships among students, faculty, and staff members.
In
addition to providing the foundation knowledge and skills
essential for taking the bar examination and beginning practice,
the curriculum and co-curricular activities are designed
to prepare you for leadership and service in the twenty-first
century. Problem solving skills, ethical behavior, and professional
responsibilities extend beyond the practice of law to all
aspects of the community.
On
behalf of the Board of Trustees, I invite you to join our
community of learning and continue your preparation for a
career in the field of law.
