1. Law of Persons; Personal Property; Wills, Probate and Administration.
Professor Lile.
The preliminary lectures in this class are devoted to the nature, sources and
evidences of the law; the absolute and relative rights, and their constitutional
guaranties; citizenship and naturalization; and subordinate magistrates. This is
followed by a thorough drill in the subjects of principal and agent; husband and
wife, including their common law property rights, with the modern statutory
modifications thereof, and the equitable separate estate; parent and child; and
guardian and ward. Later, the study of the law of personal property (including
the law of sales) is pursued in its various phases, followed by that of wills, probate
and administration. Under the latter classification are included the execution
and construction of wills; the qualification of personal representatives and the
settlement of their accounts; the law of legacies and of distribution; and the
complete administration of estates.—September 15 to February 25—Three times a
