Law school planning new law library

A western Kentucky law school is planning a new $3.8 million law library.

Alben W. Barkley School of Law President Larry Putt says construction is expected to begin soon on the 25,600 square-foot, single-story building in the Paducah Information Age Park.

Putt, currently a visiting law professor at the University of Houston Law Center, says other plans include redesigning the classroom building's interior and constructing a third building to handle future expansion needs.

The law school was once called American Justice School of Law. Dr. Laxmaiah Manchikanti of Paducah purchased 75 percent of the stock in the school in February to help settle a lawsuit brought by stockholders and students.

The school is awaiting accreditation by the American Bar Association before its graduates can take the bar exam and receive a law license.
