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
