STUDYING Law.
The lawyers Office Not What Il
49, Once Was For Students. "

The lawyers ONCE Not What II
49, Once Was For Students. ="
Questions regarding the study Of law
were sent out recently to many law
yers Of Illinois by the University of
Illinois and ELECTED 1000 replies. From
these it appears that the days Of study
ing law in lawyers Office have pass
ed away. Very few of the offices have
any law students at all. Many Of the
ablest lawyers expressed the opinion
that study in law Office is an absolute
waste Of energy. Nearly all the sue
cessful law firms declared that they
had no time to devote to young men
who desired to study law and that such
young men were a nuisance in the Of
fee. The only young man they could
use at all was one who had already
passed his examination for the state
bar and who was willing to work for
nothing for a year or two In order to
get the experience which comes from
aslarge Office. Out Of the 1000 replies
only seven favored preparation for the
bar in lawyers office ID:
Another striking result Of this inves-
tigation is found in the answers to the
questions q to the proper degree Of
preliminary education a student should
have before entering the law school A
majority Of the whole number urged
that every one taking up the study of
the law should complete a full college
course. OF the others majority were
in favor Of at least two years in col
lege. There was q practical unanim-
ity that the completion OF d four years
high school course was the absolute
minimum which was at all acceptable.
1t was the general opinion that, hav-
ing once entered the law school, the
young man should give his entire time
to the work Of the school and not at
tempt to combine It with work In q
lawyers Office or, indeed, work In any
other place unless that was absolutely
necessary to pay expenses. One law
yer declared that it was a poor school
that could not keep student busy all
the time, and If boy found himself in
such a school be ought to leave it for
one which could keep him busy.-Chi-
