The Appalachian School of Law Sutin Public Interest Association (SPIA) The Sutin Public Interest Association recognizes the deep-seated commitment our former Dean, L. Anthony (Tony) Sutin, held for serving the public. Dean Sutin had a distinguished  career  as a Harvard Law graduate holding a top job in the U.S. Department of Justice before moving to Grundy in 1999.  He hoped the school would enhance economic development in the area and train pubic service-minded lawyers.  The law school continues that focus on service to the community and to the public through its curricular  and co- curricular   programs and student organizations.  I blogged about ASL's award-winning community service program  here . Mission Statement The Sutin Public Interest Association promotes awareness, educates, and empowers public-service-minded law students to uphold Dean Sutin's strong beliefs in serving the public. Any member of the student body may join this dues-required organiz
