Fair use rationale for Image:STCL-logo.jpg

Image:STCL-logo.jpg is being used on this article. 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 Wikipedia: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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

unsourced claim

I have again removed the following unsourced claim:

Graduates of the South Texas College of Law have reported difficulty in finding employment within the legal industry; as few as 20% of STCL's graduating classes leave law school with a job secured, and only 30% are working as full-time attorneys within two years of graduating.

Please provide a source for this claim. --Evb-wiki (talk) 20:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Unverifiable claim

The following information is effectively unverifiable and creates the false impression that these law offices and legal providers are somehow affiliated with the STCL:

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 if 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) 03:06, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Law School Transparency

The anti-law school advocacy group LST is not a reliable source, per wikipedia policy. It has attempted to extort money from law schools to "certify" their data as accurate. LST's data and categories should not be used. Instead cite to underlying ABA or NALP data and standard employment categories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unemployed Northeastern (talk • contribs) 19:37, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merge

The South Texas Law Review is not independently notable, and should either be merged here, or deleted altogether. BD2412 T 19:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

I was WP:BOLD and merged the articles. Same for the STCL int'l law journal Currents. Also, moved article to reflect school's current name.BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 18:26, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

USNews Ranking

STCL is currently (2008) ranked 6th by USNews for Trial Advocacy programs. Please correct the erroneous claim that STCL "consistently ranks among the top 5 every year."

Notable Alumni

Regarding the definition of notable alumni. We followed Wikipedia's suggestions on what is "notable." Regarding "alumni" or "alumnna" (female) or "alumnus" (male) the generally accepted definition is a graduate or former student. Universities vary, but it seems one semester or quarter is sufficient.
