CAPITAL HAS BEST
LAW STUDY NEEDS
Colleges Here Attract EStu-
dents From All States and
Foreign Lands.

That Washington probably draws
more law students from more sections
of the country than any other city is
evidenced by the homes of the stu
dents of National University Law
School as shown by the catalogue for
the coming year recently issued.
While the District, Maryland and
Virginia lead in the number of stu
dents at this institution, 43 of the
4S States are represented in it's stu
dent body, besides those from Wash
ington and the Philippine Islands. In
addition, three foreign countries are
represented, although they are not
nations having the common law as q
part of their Jurisprudence.
City Offers Opportunities.
This wide geographical division is
due to many causes, the principal one
being the fact that many employees Of
the governmental departments and of
the United States Capital take ad-
vantage of the facilities for education
offered here TO students who find il
desirable to earn their own way
through college.
Then Washington offers opportunity
for the study of law which is not
equaled by any other city in the coun-
1
States Supreme Court, the United
States Court of Claims. the United
States Court of Customs Appeals and,
of course. the different branches of
the District judicial system In addi-
ton, the law library of the Supreme
Court is the most complete in the
country and one of the best in the
world. while the law division of the
| Congressional Library is almost as
complete.
| Many law students expect to engage
| in public life as a correlary TO the
practice of their profession, and they
enjoy attending the congressional de
bates and otherwise protiting by the
political life of Washington.
