10, extending. to those, who desire to gain
Il knowledge of the law unusually fine
opportunities for well directed study. At
no time during its career of more than
Il century has the Georgetown University
Law School been represented by finer
Aody of teachers than at present BY
using every possible care the controlling
officers have gathered for the law school
a faculty which numbers among its MEM
bers many of the leading men of the legal
profession in the District
Aside from teachers of theory 1t has on
its list of instructors men who are at
present occupying the highest positions
On the bench, or who stand at the head
OF lawyers in active practice in Washing
ton. Thus the students of the law school
are brought into almost daily contact
with men whose own achievements quail
fly them to teach, and whose active pur-
suit of their profession. either as prac-
ticing attorneys or judges on the bench
keeps them abreast of modern legal
movements.
Georgetown Law School was organized
in 1888 and has grown in standing ana
influence with each year. Situated, as 1t
is in the capital of the nation, it pre-
sents many advantages over other similar
institutions. With the Supreme Court of
the United States, the law library at the
Capitol and the political center of the
government within its very vision, its
students are enabled to get grasp on
national affairs and current events.
Course Is Three Years.
The regular course covers period of
three years Then there is a post-gradu-
ate course The standard is high and
those who come out of the Georgetown
Law School with certificates OF gradua
ton go forth into the world secure in
the knowledge that their diplomas were
earned, and not presented free of cost.
The pecunfary cost of the courses at the
school Is moderate.
The session lasts from the first week
in October until the 1St of June. Stu
dents desiring to take special courses or
candidates for advanced standing, that is
to say, those who desire to complete the
course in less than the regular period
OF three years, may make such arrange.
