4. Mercantile Law
Professor Lile.
Under this head are grouped the subjects of Negotiable Instruments,
Insurance and Partnership. The instruction is made as practical as
possible, by frequent use of the various mercantile instruments, as
exhibits, in the course of the lectures. In the study of the law of
negotiable paper, constant reference is made to the Negotiable Instruments
Law, recently enacted in several States, including Virginia, and
likely to be adopted generally, throughout the country. In addition to
the study of the general principles of the law of insurance, attention is
devoted to particular clauses most useful in life, marine and accident
policies, and the New York Standard Fire Policy is studied, clause by
clause, in the light of judicial construction.—February 25 to May 15—
