Appalachian School of Law opens renewal push in Grundy
The Appalachian School of Law founded in Grundy Virginia in 1997 aims to ease coalfield lawyer shortages and renew Appalachia. Dean L Anthony Sutin, a DOJ official former, helped open it. The school graduated its first class in 2000 with provisional ABA approval in 2001 and plans full approval by 2003. Classes were canceled after Wednesday's shooting but resume Jan 22.
