Id School will commence ON the LIST of Deccm-
Der next, and terminate on the 18th of April. The
plan of instruction will embrace course of lee
turc few practical works, frequent examina.
tions and moot-court The object being TO i'm
part such information as is most useful TO young
gentlemen at the commencement OF their pre- fcss-
ional career, great pains ill be taken to make
them familiar with the rules of practice the prin-
clPlcs and forms OF pleading, and the most inn
portant doctrines of the law cf evidence. The
moot court 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 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, n formal record kept of the proceedings and
the pleadings directed present for discuss
ION and decision, questions of novelty difficulty
suggested by the lectures. The of a law Ii
brary attached to the school and owned by an as
sociatlon OF gentlemen may he had for u moderate
compensation. The department of Medical Juris-
| prudence Will again be conducted by DIR. A. Wad-
del, n gentleman of emnence in his professions
whose instructive and entertaining lectures were
received with entire appreciation by his class a
