New Law Library planned for Barkley Law

Alben W. Barkley School of Law, formerly called American Justice School of Law, whose troubles this blog mentioned here and here attempts to stabilize itself and as part of its future plans to build a new $3.8M law library. Hopefully, this points to positive signs for this institution and its faculty, staff and students. We can only hope the construction goes smoothly unlike the stories at UConn Law Library and the Mississippi Supreme Court and State Law Library who sustained rather extensive water damage after sprinkler system issues less than five months after moving into their new building.

As an outsider to this situation I hope these plans are more than just lip service to attempt and keep the school afloat and in the running for ABA accreditation as several reports say the school is severely strapped for capital and lack of funding was one of the major issues with the previous lawsuits filed by students and faculty against the school. {BB}
