| TE7H f second Session ofthe Staunton Law
N School will commence on the LIST. ofDe-
cember next, and terminate on the 18th of
! April. The plan of instruction will en-
| brace course Of lectures, few practical
works, frequent examinations, and moot
court The objectbeins Ia impart such in
| formation as is most useful 10 young gentle
men at tho commencement of their profes-
slonal career, great pains will be taken TO
make them familiar with the rules of p1ac-
tice, the principles and forms of pleading,
and the most important doctrines OF the law
OF evidence. The moot court was found
/ highly advantageous at the last Session, and
I IT is hoped will be rendered still more so at
the next by the employment Of a regular
clerk, TO be elected and compensated for his
services by the pupils. In this mimic iri-
( buaal, suits both at common law and in euui-
/ ty will be prosecuted and defended through
/ the different stages, formal record kept of
the proceedings, and the pleadings so direct
ed as 70 present for discussion and decision
questions of novelty or difficulty suggested
by the lectures. The use of law library
attached TO the school and owned by an asso-
citation OF gentlemen may be had for a mod
crate compensation. The department of
Medical Jurisprudence will again be con-
Quoted by DR.. A. Waddle, 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 the 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
such only as are determined 10 pursue their
studies with ardour and persey erance and
those who attend will be considered under an
honorary engagement to conduct them
selves with perfect decorum, and abstain al
together from the use Intoxicating liquors
and every species Of gaming.
The local advantages of Staunton are be-
lieyed to be generally known. 1t is situa-
ted in beautiful and abundant country, and.
enjoys climate OF almost unrivaled salubri-
ty. Those who are disposed to become pu-
pills will oblige the subscriber by communi-
eating their intention by letter as early az
practicable. lie will give prompt attention
/ to such enquiries for information as thew NAV
think proper to make. The students will
find II their interest to arrive few DAVIS be-
fore the commandments of the session in order
/ to make preparatory arrangements. Such
as may deem IT eXpedient 10 come on forth
with ard engage in Introductory studies viii
be advised as to their course of reading. It
is hoped that gentlemen recently admitted 10
the bar would be much benefited by devo-
ting 10 the exercises of a session a period of
! the year that may be withdrawn from the
practice without much inconvenience.
