[edit] History and background
Salmon P. Chase College of Law ("Chase"), was founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1893 as an evening law school affiliated with the Cincinnati YMCA. In 1971, Chase merged into the Kentucky state university system by becoming a part of Northern Kentucky University.[1] The school then moved from downtown Cincinnati, across the Ohio River, to its present location in northern Kentucky.
[edit] Learning environment and library
Chase is located in Nunn Hall on the main campus of Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, Kentucky - part of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area. Nunn Hall’s two mock courtrooms are equipped with video and computer technology, as are a majority of the lecture halls and classrooms. [2]
The Chase law library occupies two stories of the five story Nunn Hall building. Students can access the law library 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.[2] The law library's collection consists of approximately 332,151 volumes - along with providing access to electronic resources, including HeinOnline, LexisNexis, Westlaw, and many other Web-based products.[3]
