Separation

This isn't a separate school, it's a sub-school within Suffolk University. Also, this page contains almost the exact same information, word for word, as the Suffolk University article. I'll merge the two soon, if nobody has any objections, which I doubt anyone will, since noone has looked at this talk page yet besides me. I'll give it a day or two anyway.

I think it would be better to keep the pages separate. The two Suffolk pages are relatively new and users haven't had too much of an opportunity to edit them yet. The other New England law schools that are part of universities all have separate pages (see BC vs. BC law for an example). I'll try to differentiate them a bit if I have time. Thanks.

I agree with keeping them separate. I graduated from Suffolk Law and I will say that there is very little interaction between the Law School (which is in a recently constructed building on Tremont Street away from the main campus of the undergraduate school on Beacon Hill) and the undergraduate school, at least from a student perspective.

It's a shame if content is duplicated (though there doesn't seem to be that much, at this point) - but I'm guessing that there could easily be separate articles for similar schools at other universities. The bias at Wikipedia seems to be toward more, shorter articles, rather than long articles - which makes sense to me - so the merging articles is rarely the right thing to do. Maybe screen for the duplicate content? flux.books 22:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Erroneous information?

I checked the cite after the statement referring to the law school's program in Sweden, the one which makes reference to Justice Ginsburg, and could not find any information to confirm that. While Ginsburg holds an honorary degree from the University of Lund (http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/1999-00/99-045.html), a survey of her C.V. shows no actual study there (http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/justices/ginsburg.bio.clr.html). For accuracy's sake, I think this statement should be deleted.Ronnotronald 17:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

She did extensive work at the University of Lund in the 1960s. I clarified and added a cite to the book that mentions her work there.192.138.214.100 22:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


That picture made me laugh, it looks like the school is in a green/wooded area. The picture isn't edited, it is taken from the Sam Adams gravesite across the street, but the school is in downtown boston, not to many other trees around besides the ones in the parks. Not worth changing, just interesting to note.

I'm changing back the internal link regarding the "John Joseph Moakley Library." The article originally had the words "John Joseph Moakley" linked to the Joe Moakley article and the word "Library" in plain text. The recent change put the word "Library" in the link to the Moakley article. My thinking is that if you have the entire phrase "John Joseph Moakley Library" linked, the assumption is that you would be taken to an article on the library, not just its namesake. For clarity's sake, I'm changing it back.Ronnotronald 17:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

My bad, the word "Library" was never there. Thanks for catching the error Swampyank! I think I'm still going to leave "Library" as plain text though. Thanks again.Ronnotronald 17:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Organizing 'Alumni' Section Differently

Instead of listing prominent alumni by the year he/she graduated, I'm going to change it to alphabetically. I took a quick survey of some other law schools' articles and it appears they organize alphabetically as well.Ronnotronald 13:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

image of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I think the image of Justice Ginsburg, whose relationship to the school is pretty attenuated, should be removed. I'm going to get rid of it, but if anyone wants to keep it, please speak up.Ronnotronald (talk) 05:06, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

World News Ranking

Why would a subjective ranking system be placed in the infobox? I understand its mentioning in the article, but wikipedia has guidelines regarding subjectivity within the infobox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.105.154 (talk) 23:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

More erroneous information

I noticed this article has gone through a recent rehab, but some immediately information jumped out at me as being misleading or not being fully accurate.

For one, the picture caption of GOVERNOR Cooledge is misleading. He was the Governor of Massachusetts in 1920, and did not become president until the death of President Warren Harding in 1923. Perhaps this should be changed to "Future president..." or "Then-Massachusetts Governor..."

Second, the ABA accredation date in the article cites the school was acreditted in 1930 yet the ABA's own website cites 1953: http://www.abanet.org/legaled/approvedlawschools/year.html http://officialguide.lsac.org/Release/SchoolsABAData/SchoolPage/SchoolPage_PDFs/ABA_LawSchoolData/ABA3771.pdf Note that the ABA uses the words "accredited" and "approved" interchangably.

I don't want to go tromping around someone's garden making edits, but anyone have any thoughts? 75.67.195.144 (talk) 12:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Wrong formatting on citations

I fixed (as best I could) one citation that showed up right in the text. Others need to be fixed. How can this work?
In the 2011 edition of the U.S. News Best Law Schools publication Suffolk was not ranked."Law Schools List". Grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com. Retrieved October 18, 2011.</ref>[1][2]
A subscription is required to access the list. Do we have to prove it's not ranked? I'm removing the whole thing for now. Yopienso (talk) 00:12, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Employment Data is far out of date

The legal employment landscape has changed a lot, and greatly since 2012, which is the last data points for the employment info. It'd be better to update it to relevant info or remove altogether as it's misleading. More updated info is available[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Techcrunch2016 (talk • contribs) 04:35, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
