!SSHE second Session OF the Staunton Law
IL School will commence tho LIST of Decem.
Dor next and terminate on the 18th of April The
plan of instruction will embrace u course OF los
ture few practical works, frequent cxamina
tons and u moot-court. The object being to i'm
part such information as is most useful to young
gentl amen ut the commencement of their pr, fess-
ional career, great pains W ill be- taken to mako
them familiar with the rules of practice, the prn
ciples and forms of pleading, and the most i'm
portant 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 at the next by tho employment of a re-
guar 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 Peadlngs so directed TO present for discuss

brary attached to the school and owned by an as
sociation OF gentlemen may be had for n moderate.
compensation. The department of Medical Juris-
prudence WIZ again be conducted by DIR. A. Wad-
del, gentleman of sInincnce i'm 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
by experience, and the only objection to which
they are liable is the dissipation by which they arc
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
Vitation Is Tor SUCH only as are determined to pur-
sue their studies with ardor and perseverance, and
those who attend will be considered under an no.
nCrary engagement to conduct themselves with
perfect decorum and abstain altogether from tho
use OF intoxicating liquors and every species of
gaming
Tho local advantages of Staunton are believed TO
DO generally known. 1t is situated in beautiful and
abundant country, and enjoys a climate of almost
unriyalled salubrity. Those who are disposed to
become pupils will obge the subscriber by COM
municatng their intention by letter early
practicable. He will give prompt attention to
such enquiries for information as thew NAV think
proper 10 make The students will find it their
interest to nrrive few days before the com
mencement of the session, i'm order to
mako preparatory arrangements. Such as may
deem 1t expedient to como on forthwith and en-.
gage In Introductory studies will be advised as to
their course of reading. 1t is hoped that gentle
men recently admitted to the bar would be much
benefited by devoting to the exercises of ses-
sion period of the year that may be Withdrawn
from the practice without much Inconvenience
