Talk:Gonzaga University School of Law

Todo
Fix the facts in the very beginning. Tier Three schools are not in the top 100. So the sentence: "The U.S. News & World Report law school rankings typically place Gonzaga Law in the top 100 law schools in the U.S. or in the third tier of schools." Sorry but this just looks ridiculous. Tier Three by definition is OUTSIDE of the top 100. Also, Gonzaga is not "typically" placed in the top 100. Gonzaga was Tier Four until 2005 - which is well outside the top 100. It was then Tier Three from 2005-2008 and 2010. It tied for 100th in 2009. So the sentence is actually false about what is "typical" for Gonzaga in addition to the "definition of Tier Three" error. It looks biased and makes the entire entry look biased. Facts are good. Yes, Gonzaga has improved and is recently typically in the third tier of law schools.

Need the following:

*Details on alumni. Famous alumni list perhaps? *Criticism section needed. --Longman391 19:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)\
 * Image of the law school building, school seal, and Italy campus
 * 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.
 * 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)
 * 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)


 * 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)


 * No problem- I've been meaning to do it for a while as I am beginning there in the fall and was shocked that no article existed. I fixed the Florence campus reference and changed the wording to better reflect the program. Perhaps "non-traditional" would be more appropriate? Or perhaps a sub-section on all of the non-traditional programs at GU Law?


 * I'll look into the infobox et all. The other pages I have created have been for sports teams- much more obvious template structure over there! Thanks for the feedback! --Longman391 00:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Notable alumni section
Hi. I was working on adding citations for this section and noticed there are a few people listed who do not have Wikipedia articles. I am wondering f a person needs to have their own Wikipedia article before they should be listed in this section? I know this is the guideline for a Notable people section on a city or town page. Please let me now if this is the same guideline for the Notable alumni section? Thank you--BuzyBody (talk) 03:07, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
