Talk:New York University School of Law/Archive 1

Press Release
The following sounds too much like a press release to be in this entry:

"Most recently, NYU Law has formed a ground-breaking law program for the globally-minded. In a move that will transform the very concept of global legal education, New York University School of Law and the National University of Singapore Faculty of Lawhave created a dual degree program in Asia's commercial and legal hub, Singapore. Entitled NYU@NUS, this program will allow students from around the world to experience two educational universes, earning Master of Laws LL.M. degrees from both a leading U.S. institution and a leading Asian law school."

 * Agreed. I approvingly notice that your edited version still notes that the program exists, but refrains from commenting on its worth. --M @ r ē ino 17:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

NPOV issue with ranking/reputation
With all due respect, wouldn't a neutral point of view acknoweledge that the school is *tied* for number 4 in US News, and therefore can't be considered one of the top 4 law schools in the country, but one of the top 5??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by LittleJohnny (talk • contribs)
 * You're absolutely right. I'll change it in a couple days if there are no other comments.--M @ r ē ino 13:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Tied for 4th means there are 5 schools ranked in positions 1-2-3-4. NYUL is among the top 5 schools. --mtz206 (talk) 13:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It is the only school at #4 in the 2008 rankings. Columbia is #5 now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.46.71.15 (talk • contribs)
 * Funny how these things resolve themselves. --M @ r ē ino 16:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Nyuseal.gif

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

 * Thanks. I have updated the image description to note that it is the seal of both NYU and its affiliate schools. --M @ r ē ino 16:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Mercer photo
I swapped the old Mercer photo for one of much higher-resolution; given that the new one is taken by me, I'm not exactly impartial, so if anybody thinks the old one is better, please say so. Padraic · talk 01:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Not only is your photo higher quality, but it also eliminates a copyright problem with the previous photo. --M @ r ē ino 16:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Jim Beam
Official Drink

Jim Beam was declared "the official drink" of NYU Law by its former Dean, Arthur Vanderbilt, after his famed visit to room 1907 of the Mercer Street Dormitory. During said visit, Vanderbilt violently abused Jim Beam, advancing the sport of drinking to nearly mythical proportions. It is rumored that he also poured copious amounts of the beverage atop his lavishly decorated fedora. During this epic foray of binge drinking, Vanderbilt came to the conclusion that NYU Law, being a law school in the public service, should have "an official drink with which the common man could identify; and there is no more common a man nor drink than Jim Beam."

I have no idea if this is true, and it has no verification/citations. Can someone please check this out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.83.150 (talk) 22:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Mercer Residence renamed Hayden Hall
Mercer residence was renamed Hayden Hall in 2017. I changed the section to reflect that. http://www.law.nyu.edu/housing/oncampushousing/exploreresidencehalls/haydenhall — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.245.242.118 (talk) 03:23, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
