q ME- second Session of the Staunton Law.
H. School will commence On the LIST of Decem
Der next, and terminate ON the 18th of April Tie
plan OF instruction will embrace II course of lee
turc', few practical works, frequent cxamina-
tons and Il mootcourt. The object being to i'm
part such information US is most useful to Young
gent mcn at the commencement of their prt fess-
ional career, great pains will be taken to mako
them familiar with the rules of practice, the prn-
ciplcs and forms of pleading, and tho 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 he elected and compensated for his
services by the pupils. In this mimic tribunal,
suits both at common law and in equity will be-
prosecuted and defended through the different sta
yes, formal record kept of the proceedings, and
inc peadngs so directed to present for discuss
on and decision, questions of novelty difficulty
suggested by the lectures. The use of a law IL
brary attached to the school and owned by an as.
sociation OF gentlemen may be had for II moderate
com pensatiom. The department of Medical Jurs-
prudence will again condccted by DIR. A. Wad-
del, n gentleman of emincnce i'm his profession
whose instructive and entertaining lectures were
received with entire appreciation by his class a.
the last session.
The utility of Law-Schools has been we'll tested
by experience, and the only objection to which
they are liable is the dissipation by which they ara
sometimes infested. Tho subscriber earnestly re-
quests that no one whose habits have been at ALI
rregular will think of joining his school His in
vitation Is tor such only determined to pur-
sue their studies with ardor and perseyerence. and
those VINO attend Will be considered under no.
norary engagement to conduct themselves with
perfect decorum, and abstain altogether from the
use OF intoxicating liquors and every species of
gaming
| The local advantages of Stauntou are believed 10
be generally known. 1t is situated in beautiful and
abundant country, and enjoys climate of almost
unrivalled salubrity. Those who are disposed to
become pupils will oblige the subscriber by COM
municating their intention by letter us early as
w DIV inf NIT to,
such enquiries tor information they may think
proper TO make. The students will find it their
interest TO arrive few days before the CON-
mencement of the session, in order to
make preparatory arrangements. Such as NAV
deem IL expedient to come forthwith and en-
gage In Introductory studies will be advised as to
their course OF reading. 1t is hoped that gentle
men recently admitted TO the bar would be much
benefited by devoting to the exercises of n ses
sion period of the year that may be withdrawn
from the practice without much Inconvenience
