POV?
This reads a bit like it's right from a brochure. Someone want to tone down the language a bit?

Indeed. Convicted felon Sol Wachtler a "prominent" member of the faculty? Shame on Sol Wachtler for his inexcusable criminal behavior, shame on the NY Bar for reinstating him and shame on Touro for giving scum like him a chance to corrupt young minds! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.98.49 (talk) 01:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

State and federal courts
I removed the following statement, "Touro is the only law school in the country on the same campus as both a state and federal courthouse." Touro is not directly connected to either institution other than sharing land carved up from the psychiatric center. And for what it's worth cohalen courthouse is actually a suffolk county building (in which a state court sits). Americasroof (talk) 03:11, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

-- UPDATE -- Presiding at the session will be Associate Justice Peter B. Skelos. He will be joined by Associate Justices Leonard Austin, Sandra Sgroi and Hector LaSalle, all Long Islanders. The Appellate Division Second Department is the intermediate appellate court for Richmond, Kings, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, and Putnam counties, and is one of the busiest appellate tribunals in the nation. The 20-case calendar includes criminal and civil appeals, the latter including real property, land use, personal injury, public employee arbitration and contract interpretation cases.

Adds
Hi -- the "notable" faculty added that don't have wp articles need independent RS sources that show them to be notable per wikipedia standards. A ref simply to their writings, for example, does not suffice. And not all professors are notable -- they need to satisfy our notability criteria. Such entries are subject to deletion.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:04, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Where can I find wikipedia notability criteria? Thanks!21:01, 9 December 2014 (UTC)Evygiles (talk)


 * For academics, it would be Notability (academics). Epeefleche (talk) 05:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Taking Down Banner -Advertisement, Needs Citations
Hello Everyone. I a rather new to Wikipedia, but I just read the entire article and the article doesn't seem to sound like an advertisement to me. Also, there are many citations. I would like to take down the banner that says there are many problems with the article,but want to see if there was a protocol for taking down the banner before I did it. Please let me know. Thanks for the input. Infomonger123 (talk) 00:03, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
