TVNHE second Session ofthe Staunton Law
n School will commence on the lst. ofDe-
cemher next, and terminate on the 18th Of
April. The plan of instruction will en-
brace q course of lectures, few practical
works, frequent examinations, and a moot
court. The object being TO impart such in
formation as is most useful TO young gentle
men at the commencement OF their profess
sional career, great pains will be taken to
make them familiar with the rules of pTac-
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
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 tri-
bunal, suits both at common law and in equi
ty will be prosecuted and defended through
the the ST@s % GG
ed as to 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 mod
crate compensation. The department Of
Medical jurisprudence will again be con-
ductedby DR.. A. Waddle, a gentleman of
eminence in his profession, whose instruc-
tive and entertaining lectures were received
with entire appreciation by his class al 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 ior

studies with ardour and perseverance and

selves with perfect decorum, ar. ABSTAIN al
