attended
by young gentlemen licensed for the bar and it was
from their example that, was led to shorten the
time, as to them, i'll future; and, to them it * most
respectfully subnttcd whether they had not better
make their first essay at the bar Of the .oot Cour
attached to the Lar School, for the time proposed.
than TO take the which is more generally
sued here let me invite their attention, to what
MI JEt ERSON says, in a letter to me, in rcla-
ton to the Lar School: "Ofthe utility of the in
"stitution there be doubt It gives onDortuni
ties 10 students OF practising their lessons in rheto-
nc, OF habituating themselves to think and to sneak
"with method, and lessons the shock of a premier
debut at the bar, so terrible in first essay Of
strength before the public'-And, now let me add
that, with these advantages the s;udsn, Iniobt ac
quire, stock of practical knowledge, in the SANG
| tilne which, he would never get Ivy study.
The Only advantages the student has in reading
at the Lar School, over the student in his closet IS
the strict examination. ne frequently ulareoes
upon the law and upon the practice oft.
1t Is my purpose, If the students OF the mex. session
OF the Lar School, shall! wish it, without any other
expense to them TO attach also, to the Lar ScIoo
a Moot ,Assenrbly, (once month"; composed Of !,
senate and house OF Delegates be governed in all
respects, by our constitution ard laws; and to pro-
ceed ~ all matters by the rules and REGULATIONS of
| the General Assembly of Virginia and BY the
! manual of Mr.. Jefferson, when necessary: Aud
should be so fortunate, in conducting the delr5era-
'ios oi my puplis, IN their legislative operations,
as have been in their judicial proceedings and
they shall he i'll like manner benefited / shall he
most amply rewarded Every pledge that have
made III relation to the publication ofth Journal of
the L0c Schcot, shall be redeemed according TO Che
pledge; And, II any doubt about thc utility ol
the Loio School, of the correctness of the proceed
ngs IN IT, do most respectfully invite him to visit
aud unless he is without any relish for the law,
am persuaded, nc would leave i; under tic most
| friendly impressions.
| Iwill only add, that the last Thursday in every
months IS the day of public examination: and ON
the last Friday III every month"; the 3Ioot Co,rf ;e
| opened in any grade of tire courts which counsel
may ask Tor and on every Saturday as a month
" court unless the Judge be absent and Il 90
when he returns, ha makes up for il: And, as 10
gentlemen who lef the last session, under circur-
stances over which they had no CONTROL before ,le
end oil IT. they will be allowed the time tey lost,
upon returning, in the next session.
