Academics
Under Academics, I am wondering if one of the editors would make an adjustment so that it's more accurate: This:

The school offers concentration options in entrepreneurship and business law, health law, criminal law and intellectual property law and as of 2009 has 49 full and part-time faculty members.

Is more accurate than this: The school concentrates on entrepreneurial business, health law, and intellectual property law and as of 2009 has 49 full and part-time faculty members Igotabird (talk) 21:02, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was already moved by another. It's unclear whether that person was aware of this discussion, but this was unopposed and appears relatively uncontroversial.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:43, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Earle Mack School of Law → Drexel University School of Law – The school has officially changed its name from the Earle Mack School of Law to the Drexel University School of Law. Visit drexel.edu/law to verify. Therefore the appropriate name should be reflected in the wiki page title and url. Igotabird (talk) 17:20, 6 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not seeing any official statements about this name change on the website or reported in the news. Can you provide something a little bit more definitive? The current handbook and the official facebook (last updated Dec 3) still call it the Earle Mack School of Law. --ImGz ( t/c ) 04:22, 7 December 2013 (UTC)


 * The official Facebook page has now been updated to reflect the new name. https://www.facebook.com/DrexelLaw  You will also find multiple references to the "Drexel University School of Law" on the official website and Drexel.edu website.  The student handbook will not reflect the new name until its next iteration since it has already been issued.  Our twitter page also reflects the new name https://twitter.com/DrexelLaw Igotabird (talk) 20:06, 10 December 2013 (UTC)Igotabird (talk)

2014 name change and new data
My name is Brad Levinson and I work in the University Communications department of Drexel University. The School of Law was recently renamed the Thomas R. Kline School of Law, and given this, some additional information associated this change—as well as some current facts and figures about the School, as some key information dates back to 2009—may help to strengthen this page. Below are some potential ideas that will hopefully be considered non-controversial, well-sourced, and neutral. Any suggestions, revisions, edits, comments or discussions are extremely welcomed.

Requested Move
Drexel University School of Law → Thomas R. Kline School of Law – The school has recently changed its name, and it may be helpful to move the page to another location that reflects this name.

History
As stated, the Kline School of Law was recently named the Thomas R. Kline School of Law. The following text, or some derivative of it, may strengthen the History section of the page:


 * In 2014, the law school received a $50 million gift from Thomas R. Kline, a prominent trial lawyer in Philadelphia. The gift, which was the single largest in Drexel University’s history and the fifth largest received by a law school, will support scholarship and enhance the school’s Trial Advocacy Program. The gift includes the conveyance of the historic Horace Trumbauer-designed bank building at 12th and Chestnut streets, which will be renovated to accommodate the Thomas R. Kline Institute of Trial Advocacy and augment the school’s capacity for courtroom simulations, CLE programs and development of the LLM program.
