" SHE second Session of the Staunton Law
"a School will commence the LIST of Decem-
ber next, and terminate on the 18th of April. The
plan of instruction will embrace n course of lee
ture lew practical works, frequent examina-
tons and a moot-court. The object being to i'm
part such information as is most useful to young
gentl ;men at the commencement of their profess
ional career, great pains will be taken to make
them familiar with tho rules of practice, the prn-
ciPies and forms OF pleading, and the mos. i'm
portant doctrines of the law of evidence. The
moot-court was found highly advanta geous at the
last Session, and it is hoped will be rendered still
more so at the next by the employment of a 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, a formal record kept of tho proceedings and
the pleadngs so directed to present for discuss
ION and decision, questions of novelty difficulty
suggested by the lectures The of law Ii
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 eminence in 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
oy experience, and the only objection to which
they are liable is the dissipation by which thew are
sometimes infested. The subscriber earnestly re-
quests that no one whose habits have been at all
irregular will think of joining his school His in
Vilatlon is Tor such only determined to pur-
sue tfer studies with ardor and perseverance; and
those who attend will be considered under an bo
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 Stanton are believed to
be generally known. 1t is situated i'm beautiful and
abundant country, and enjoys climate of almost
unriyalled salubrity. Those who are disposed to
become pupils will obligethe subscriber by COM
municatlng their intention by letter as early as
practicable. He will give prompt attention TO
such enquiries Tor information as they may think
proper 10 make. The students will find it their
interest to arrive few days before the COM
ihencement OF the session, in order TO
make preparatory arrangements Such as may
deem 1t eXpedient 10 on forthwith and en-
gage in Introductory studies will be advised as to
their course ofreading. 1t is hoped that gentle
men recently admitted TO the bar would be much
benefited by devotiug to the exercises of a ses
sion period of the year that may be withdrawn
from the practice without much Inconvenience
