FE NILE second Session of tho Staunton Law.
Ill School Will commence TN the LIST of Decem-
Der next, and terminate on the 18th of April. The
plan OF instruction will embrace a course of lee.
turc few practical works, frequent examina-
tions and moot-court. Tho object being to i'm
part such information as is most useful to young
gentl men at the commencement of their pre- foss-
ional career, great pains will be taken to mako
them familiar with the rules of practice, the prin-
ciP'cs and forms OF pleading, and tho most i'm
portant doctrines of the law of evidence. The
moo:-comrt was found highly advantageous at the
last Session, and it is hoped will be- rendered still
more so at tho next by tie employment of re-
gular clerk, to be 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
ges formal record kept of the proceedings, and
the pcadings so directed TO present for discuss
ION and decision, questions of novelty difficulty
suggested by the lectures. The use of n law IL
brary attached to the school and owned by an as
ISOLATION of gentlemen may be had for n moderate
compensation. The department of Medical Juris-
prudence will again be conducted by DIR. A. Wad-
del, gentleman of cmincnce in his profession
whose instructive and entertaining lectures we're
received with cntro appreciation by his class 4
the last session.
The utility of Law-Schools has been we'll tested
by experience, and the only objection 10 which
they are liable is tho dissipation by which thew rc
sometimes infested. Tho subscriber earnestly re-
quests that no one whose habits have been at all
irregular will think of joining his school, His in.
vitation is for such only are determined to DUR
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 arc believed TO
be generally known. 1t is situated in beautiful and
abundant country, and enjoys climate of almos,
| unrvalicd saubrty. Those who are disposed to
become pupils will oblige the subscriber by COM
munlcating their intention by letter as early as
practicable. He will give prompt attention TO
such enquiries for information as they may think
! proper o make. The students will lind 1t their
interest TO arrive few days before the com.
mcncemcnt OF the session, in order 10
make preparatory arrangements Such as mny
deem it cxpcdient to come OH forthwith and en-
gage In Introductory studies will be advised as TO
their course of reading. 1t is hoped that gentle
men re Gently admitted to the bar would be much
benefited by devotng to the exercises of ses
sion period OF the year that may be withdrawn
from tho practice without much Inconvenience
