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; 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 includ 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
