SO
! IENHE second SessCa, of the Staunton I,aw-
- School will comnsnce on the LIST of De-
cember next, and terminate OH the 18th Of
( April. The plan OF Instruction will emf
brace course of ledures, a few practical
works, frequent examinations, and meot-
court. The object beng TO impart such in
formation as is most USEFUL TO young gentle
men at the commencement of their profes-
slonal career, great Iains will be taken TO
make them familiar with the rules of prac-
tice, the principles ard forms of pleading,
and the most important doctrines of the law
of evidence. The mot court was found
highly advantageous athe last Session, and
1t is hoped Will be rendared still more so at
the next by the employment off regular
clerk, TO be elected ana compensated for his
services by the pupils. In this mimic tri-
bunal, suits both at common law and in equ-
ty will be prosecuted and defended through
the different stages, formal record kept of
the proceedings, and thepleadings so direct
ed as 20 present for DISCUSSION and decision
questions of novelty or difficulty suggested
by the lectures. The use of law library
attached TO the school ami owned by an asso-
citation of gentlemen maY he had for mod
crate compensation The department of
Medical jurisprudence Will again be con-
Quoted by DR.. A. Waddld, a gentleman of
eminence in his profession, whose instruc-
tive and entertaining lectures were received
with entire appreciation by his class at the
last session.
The utility Of law schools has been well
tested by experience, and lie only objection
to which they are liable is the dissipation by
which they are sometimes infested. The sub
scriber earnestly requests that no one whose
habits have been at all irregular will think
of joining his school. His invitation is for
suchIonly as are determined 10 pursue their
studies with ardour and perseverance and
thosewho attend will be considered under an
honorary engagement TO, conduct them
I sef4S with perfect decorulh, and abstain al
together from the use of intoXicqpg liquors
and Every 1SpecieS of gaming.
The local advantages of Staunton are be-
lievldto be generally known. 1t is situa-
ted h beautiful and abundant country, and
enjoys a climate of almost unrivalled salubri-
ty. Those who are disposed to become pu-
pilswiil oblige the subscriber by communi-
eating their intention by letter as early as
practicable. He will give prompt attention
to sch enquiries for information as they NAV
thiik proper to make. The students will
find it their interest TO arrive a few days be-
fort the commencement fthe session in order
TO make preparatory arrangements Such
as hay deem it eXpedient to come on forth
vii Ia and engage in Introductory studies will
befdyised as to their course OF reading. Ii
is Hoped that gentlemen recently admitted TO

ting to the exercises of session a period of
the year that may be withdrawn from the
practice without much inconvenience
