Talk:American Bar Association

message: I added back a modification of language related to the 1925 formation of the National Bar Association to put the whole discussion into perspective.  See , although I am sure there are more scholarly sources for a citation. -- DS1953 talk 21:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

message: For some time I have been working on revisions to the Bricker Amendment article.  I finally posted it and have a PR at Wikipedia:Peer review/Bricker Amendment/archive1.  I'd welcome comments.  I know all those references may seem extravagant, but I'm hoping to get it as an FA and those voters want lots of footnotes.  PedanticallySpeaking 16:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I strongly oppose the merge from Law Practice Magazine into this article. The magazine is notable (reasons provided here and also here) and, as explained on Wikipedia:List of missing journals, "While some of the journals [from the List of missing journals] are obscure, having articles on them would be invaluable. " (emphasis added) --Edcolins 19:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that these two links were wrongly judged as spam: ABA Journal, the ABA's flagship magazine and the List of all American States Bar Associations, I returned those links to this entry, because I think they're useful for the user interested in the ABA related external links.

thread_title:  ABA Backs Marriage Equality for Gays and Lesbians 

message: The current demurrer filed by defendant New York Law School provides an affirmative defense that it was following directives issued by the ABA. Since the ABA is considering changing accreditation standards for law schools by requiring accredited institutions to provide audited information regarding job placement and salary information, a link to the demurrer as a reference is appropriate.Berknyc81 (talk) 03:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Points and Authorities cited in the motion to dismiss (demurrer} are tangential to this article and the ABA's activities in accrediting law schools.  To include this as a reference is WP:SYNTH because it is advancing a position.  Indeed, two positions are being advanced -- that of the defendant in the court case and that of the editor.  Also recall that a demurrer simply says even if everything in a complaint is true, the complaint does not state a cause of action. (E.g., it simply says "so what?") Accordingly, a demurrer is a pleading and not a WP:RS. (A demurrer does not provide an affirmative defense -- affirmative defenses are those which are included in answers to complaints. They require facts to support them.)--S. Rich (talk) 05:34, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

message: A topic's goals and activities should be described from an uninvolved and dispassionate point of view, based on independent 3rd-party sources. Uncriticially quoting its mission statement does not provide such encyclopedic information. Aside from the section's WP:NPOV issues, the article's further sections already provide a more meaningful overview about these details with specific factual information instead of vague self-adulating PR fluff. A "mission" overview is neither encyclopedic nor needed. GermanJoe (talk) 22:23, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
