Il School will commence the LIST of Decem-
Der next, and terminate on the 18th of April. The
plan of instruction will embrace a course of lee
ture few practical works, frequent examina-
tons and moot-court. The object being to i'm
part such information as is most useful to young
gentl men at the commencement of their pre- fcSs-
ional career, great pains will he taken to make
them familiar with the rules of practice, the prin-
cipes and forms of pleading, and the most i'm
pOrtant doctrines of the law of evidence. The
moot-court was found highly advantageous at the
last Session, and it is hoped will be rendered still
more so at the next by the employment of re-
gular clerk, to be elected and compensated for his
services by the pupils. In this mimic tribunal
suits both 1T common law and in equity will be
prosecuted and defended through the different sta.
gcs, formal record kept of the proceedings, and
the pleadIngs so directed to present for discuss
ION and decision, questions of novelty or difficulty
suggested by the lectures. The use of a law IL
brary attached to the school and owned by an as.
ISOLATION of gentlemen may be had for a moderate
compensation. The department of Medical Juris-
prudence Will again be conducted by DIR. A. Wad-
del, gentleman of emincncc in his profession
whose instructive and entertaining lectures were
received with entire appreciation by his class
the last session.
The utility of Law Schools has been well tested
by experience, and the only objection to which
they are liable is the dissipation by which they are
sometimes infested. The subscriber earnestly re-
quests that no whose habits have been at all
Irregular will think of joining his school. His in
sue their studies with ardor and perseverance; and
those who attend Will be considered under an no.
nOrary engagement to conduct themselves with
perfect dccorum, and abstain altogether from the
use of intoxicating liquors and every species of
gaming.
The local advantages of Staunton are believed to
be generally known. 1t is situated in beautiful and
abundant country, and enjoys a climate of almost
unrIvaIled salubrity. Those who are disposed to
become pupils will obligc the subscriber by com
bV left
practicable. He will give prompt attention to
such enquiries for information as they may think
proper 10 make The students will find it their
interest to arrive few days before the COM
mencement OF the session, in order to
make preparatory arrangements. Such as may
deem 1t eXPedicnt to come forthwith and en-
gage In Introductory studies will be advised as to
thcir course OF reading. 1t 10 hoped that gentle
men recently admitted to the bar would be much
benefited by devoting to the exercises of a SEES
sion period OF the year that may be Withdrawn
from the practice without much Inconvenience
