The Nashville School of Law (formerly known as the Nashville YMCA Night Law School), is a private night law school specializing in legal education for non-traditional, part-time, working professionals and others seeking a legal education. The school was founded in 1911 and its faculty includes practicing lawyers and judges from across the state of Tennessee. The school is accredited by the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners but not by the American Bar Association. Nashville School of Law graduates may take the bar examination in Tennessee. In order to practice law in another state, Nashville School of law graduates would have to request a waiver from the Supreme Court of that state. Unlike ABA-accredited law schools, Nashville School of law does not publish employment data for its recent graduates. == History == In the fall of 1911, Morton B. Adams, William P. Cooper, Lee Douglas, and Robert Selph Henry, then recent graduates of Vanderbilt University Law School, opened night law classes at the Y.M.C.A. for the benefit of those unable to attend law classes during the day. The law school has been in continual operation since that time. It was incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee on January 19, 1927. Since that date, the law school has conferred the Juris Doctor or Doctor of Jurisprudence degree on over 2,970 graduates. Until November, 1986, the school operated as the Nashville Y.M.C.A. Night Law School, leasing its classroom space from the Downtown Y.M.C.A. On November 24, 1986, the school officially changed its name to Nashville School of Law. The late James Gilbert Lackey, Jr. (1915–1987) served as Dean of the Law School and taught Contracts from 1946 to 1986. Upon his retirement, the faculty elected Judge Joe C. Loser, Jr., Dean of the school. Judge Loser then retired from the Third Circuit Court of Davidson County, Tennessee after twenty years on the bench to become the fourth Dean in the school's history on August 23, 1986. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nashville School of Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
