Historical.—Among the original schools contemplated in Mr. Jefferson's
plan for the organization of the University of Virginia was "Law:
Municipal and Foreign; Embracing the General Principles, Theory, and
Practice of Jurisprudence, together with the Theory and Principles of
Constitutional Government." Accordingly the School of Law was established
in 1826, and has been in continuous operation since, even during
the four years of the civil war.

From its inception until 1894, the course comprised the work of a
single year. With the session of 1894-95, a two years' course was inaugurated,
which continued up to the session of 1909-10, when the course
was extended to three years.

The aim of the Department of Law has always been to maintain a
high standard as a requirement for graduation—the degree being conferred
only upon such students as are thorough masters of the prescribed course
of study. This policy has been rigorously enforced, and its wisdom has
been vindicated by the high position which the graduates of the law

172

school are accustomed to attain at the bar or in public life. The course
of instruction has been extended from time to time to conform to changing
conditions and to meet the increasing needs of the profession. It is confidently
believed that the enlarged course now offered will enable those who
complete it more surely to maintain that rank at the bar which the
University has always expected of her sons.

New Law Building.—The handsome Law Building announced in last
year's catalogue as in course of erection is now practically complete, and
will be ready for occupancy before the close of the session of 1910-11. It
is located between Dawson's Row and the southern end of East Range.
The building is on classic lines, in keeping with the general design of the
other university buildings. It contains on the first floor four large lecture
halls, with convenient offices, cloak rooms, etc., and on the second floor
a stack room, with ample space for books, two commodious reading rooms,
and a number of small private rooms for special work. Liberal provision
has been made for heat, light and ventilation. Special care has been
taken to provide comfortable seats and desks in the lecture halls.

Law Library.—The Library contains about ten thousand volumes.
Its financial resources, from appropriations by the Visitors and from a
recent endowment of ten thousand dollars by Mr. W. W. Fuller, of New
York, make possible the addition of several hundred volumes annually.
The Library contains the English Reports, from and including the Year
Books to date; the United States Supreme Court Reports; reports of all
the American States; the National Reporter System, complete; modern
selected and annotated reports, such as the American Decisions, Reports
and State Reports; Lawyers Reports Annotated; American and English
Annotated Reports; English Ruling Cases, etc.; together with modern
search-books in the form of general Digests (including the Century and
Decennial editions), and the leading Encyclopedias, besides a large collection
of text-books, bound volumes of law magazines, etc. Law students
have all the privileges of the general University Library, containing more
than sixty thousand volumes, without extra charge.

Suggestions as to Preliminary Education.—Students, and their
parents or guardians, are warned that the law is peculiarly an intellectual
profession, and demands for its successful prosecution, whether
at the Law School or in the broader fields of professional life, a well-trained
mind. If it be true that untrained intellects, in rare instances,
under diligent and persistent effort, develop after entrance upon practice,
such exceptional cases but serve to illustrate the rule that out of a given
number of young men entering upon the study of the law, those with
sound preliminary training will have incomparably the advantage, while
those without it will be seriously handicapped, and are likely never to
rise above mediocrity in their profession.

The experience of the Law Faculty—nay, of all law teachers—is,
that the standing and progress of law students are, in large measure,

173

in the ratio of their academic preparation. Young gentlemen are therefore
advised not to begin their legal studies until they have completed an
academic course approximating that ordinarily required for the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. So high a standard, however, is not exacted as a
condition of entrance into the Law School. These conditions are shown
in the following sections.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.

Regular Students.—Candidates for the degree (Bachelor of Laws)
must have attained the age of eighteen years before entering the department,
must produce a certificate of good character from the school last
attended or other satisfactory source, and must conform to the general
requirements of the university as follows:

For Admission to the Department of Law the candidate must offer
fourteen units as specified below; of these three must be in English,
three in Mathematics, one in History, and the residue selected at will.

The Subjects accepted for Admission and their values in units are
given in tabulated form on the following page. The applicant for admission
may enter either by certificate or by examination.

For Admission by Certificate the candidate must file with the dean
of the university not later than September first a Certificate of Preparation,
made out on the blank form furnished by the university. This
certificate must come from some recognized institution of collegiate rank
or from an accredited high school, but admission by certificate from
accredited public high schools in Virginia shall be extended only to
graduates from four-year high schools. It must bear in all cases the
signature of the head of the school; must specify the character and content
of each course offered for entrance credit; must give the length of time
devoted to the course, and the dates of the examinations; and must give
the candidate's grades in percentages. Each unit in the entrance requirements
is the equivalent of one full year of high-school work, including
five periods a week of at least forty minutes each during not less than
thirty-six weeks, For schools in which the number of periods given to
any study, or the length of the period, is below the standard here specified,
the credit for such study will be reduced pro rata. In the scientific
subjects two hours of laboratory instruction will be counted as the
equivalent of one hour of recitation. High school courses in Physics and
Chemistry, otherwise adequate, will be allowed half credit, when individual
laboratory work is not done by the student or is not attested by proper
note-books filed with the certificate. Certificates of preparation from
private tutors will in no case be accepted; students thus prepared must
in all cases take the Entrance Examinations.

174

For Admission by Examination the candidate must present himself
for test at the University of Virginia in June or in September, according
to the dates given in the Programme of Entrance Examinations, which
may be had by applying to the Registrar. The examinations are held
under the honor system, no paper being accepted unless accompanied by
the usual pledge. All candidates who take their examinations at the
times appointed are tested free of charge. In case of delayed entrance,
where the grounds of postponement are good, the president of the university
may admit the candidate to a special examination, for which an
additional fee of five dollars is charged. The fee is payable in advance
and is in no case returned. Satisfactory certificates as to character and
age are in all cases required.

Special Students.—Applicants for registration who are more than
twenty years old, reckoning from the birthday preceding matriculation,
and desire to enter for the pursuit of special elective courses, must present
adequate proofs of good character and of the needful maturity and training.
Such applicants may then be registered as Special Students, and will
be admitted without formal examination to the privileges of the Law
School, but not as candidates for the degree.

With the admonition that over-zealousness, whereby an ambitious
student is beguiled into the assumption of more work than he can
thoroughly master in a given time, leads to cramming and inaccuracy,
and often to complete failure, the special student is free to select his
own work.

Admission to Advanced Standing.—No credit is given for attendance
at another law school, nor for time spent in private reading. The candidate
for graduation must spend all three years in residence.

Late Entrance.—Registration commences Thursday, September 14,
and the work of the Law School begins promptly on Monday following.
Students are advised that late entrance is a serious hindrance to progress.
The student who enters late must begin his work at the point to which
the work has advanced at the time of his entrance; and credit for three
years' attendance cannot be given unless the student's actual residence
averages at least thirty weeks per session. No registration in absentia
is permissible.

As regards conditions of admission in case of late entrance, reference
is made to the Regulations concerning Registration, as stated on p. 89.

Expenses.—The necessary expenses of a student in the Department
of Law may be estimated at $350 per session of nine months. This
minimum estimate includes all university and tuition fees, board, lodging,
washing and books. An average estimate would be $450 per session,
reckoning board, lodging, washing, and books at a somewhat higher figure.
The University fee applicable to all law students (including those from
Virginia) is $40; and the tuition fee is $100 for the regular work of each
session. For Special Students who desire to take selected courses, the
tuition fee is estimated according to the ratio which the work chosen
bears to the whole.

Three Years' Course.—The course of study embraces three years of
thirty-six weeks each, exclusive of holidays. Residence, for three years,
with an average attendance of at least thirty weeks a year, exclusive of
holidays, is essential to graduation.

Plan of Instruction—The course is planned with a view to acquaint
the student familiarly and practically with the principles of his profession.

176

Care is taken to teach him to think for himself, and to rely upon reason
and principle, rather than upon memory; it being considered better that
the student follow principle to its legitimate conclusion, though this be
at variance with the decisions of the courts, than that he should arrive
at a faultless result by the exercise of memory or by accident.

The instruction is as thorough as possible, and is given partly
through text-books and lectures, and partly through the study of cases.
While convinced of the value of the combined text-book and lecture
system, which has prevailed for more than half a century in the Law
School, and from which, in the inauguration of the more extended course,
it is not meant in any wise to depart, the Law Faculty have long appreciated
the value which the study of cases possesses, in illustrating the
practical application of legal principles, and in forcing the student to
extract for himself the doctrine which the cases establish. The enlargement
of the course gives opportunity for more emphasis upon this form
of instruction, and the case-book will, therefore, be used more extensively
than heretofore—not as supplanting, but as supplementing, the text-book
and lecture.

The daily oral quiz has long been a marked and, as experience has
proved, a most valuable feature of the system of instruction. As cross-examination
exposes error and develops truth, so the daily quiz enables
the instructor to discover and rectify misconception of legal principles on
the part of the student.

This oral quiz is now supplemented by frequent written tests, the
results of which are carefully recorded, and are considered in estimating
the grade of the student in the final examinations.

Required for Graduation.—The degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL. B.)
is conferred upon such students as have attained the age of twenty-one
years; have satisfied the entrance requirements; have attended three full
sessions of the Law School; and have successfully passed the required
examinations, with satisfactory performance of assigned practical work.

More specifically, the candidate for graduation must have completed
all of the obligatory courses (see Outline of Courses, below), the credit
value of which is six hundred (600) units, and elective courses of at least
the credit value of two hundred and fifty (250) units—or a total of eight
hundred and fifty (850) units. It follows that of the courses termed
`elective,' a required minimum are in fact obligatory—the candidate being
permitted to exercise an election among them.

Candidates for the degree, who in any session have less than one
full year's course to complete, may be required to take such additional
work, and to stand such additional examinations, as shall be prescribed.

177

OUTLINE OF COURSES.

The entire course of three years embraces 1,000 units (or lecture
periods of one and a half hours each) and to each subject satisfactorily
completed is attached a credit value of one unit for each lecture period
comprised therein. Of the total units, 600 are classed as obligatory and
the remaining 400 as elective. As stated, graduation requires the completion
of all the obligatory courses (credit value 600), plus elective
courses having a credit value of at least 250 units—or a minimum required
total of 850 units.

This contemplates an average of nine lecture periods (or 13½ hours)
per week during the first and second years, and eight periods (or 12
hours) the third year. The credit value of course number 4 (see table
below) is 20 units.

Each session comprises 36 weeks, exclusive of holidays, and is divided
into three terms—Sept. 15 to Dec. 23—Jan. 3 to March 21—and March
22 to June 6.

Written examinations are held during the final week of each term,
on the subjects completed during the term. See Schedule of Examinations,
p. 186.

Moot Court.—A Moot Court is organized by the students in the First
Year's course for the discussion of legal questions. Its meetings begin
at the opening and continue to the end of the session, with such interruptions
only as are incident to the proximity of the examinations. Attendance
is voluntary, as presence during the debates is intended to be a
privilege and not a burden. But every candidate for the degree is required
to argue at least one case in the Moot Court. The questions are chosen
by the Law Faculty, one of whom presides over the discussions. Interest
and life are added to the proceedings by the open debate held after the
argument, the presiding judge acting as interlocutor, and leading into the
debate those whom diffidence prompts to silence.

Practical Work.—In the courses of Equity Procedure, Virginia
Pleading & Practice, Code Pleading, Criminal Procedure, and Legal
Bibliography and Brief Making, special stress is laid upon practical work.
In the Pleading and Procedure courses, every student is required to draw,
and submit for correction and criticism, all of the principal pleadings,
orders, decrees, and other forms usual in actual litigation. In the course
on Legal Bibliography and Brief Making, familiarity with Law books and
their use is secured by lectures and demonstrations in the presence of the
books themselves, followed by oral and written quizzes, and finally by
practical tests; and briefs on assigned topics are required to be prepared
according to rigorous standards.

Applications for Degrees.—Candidates for degrees are required, within
thirty days after registration for their third year's work, to file a written
application, on blanks to be obtained at the Dean's office, setting out the
courses already completed, with the credits thereto attached, followed by
an outline of the additional courses offered to complete the requisite
aggregate of credits necessary for graduation.

Prize.—A prize for the best thesis on a subject assigned by the Law
Faculty is awarded annually in a competition open to members of the
third year class, who are candidates for graduation. It is donated by
the Edward Thompson Company of Northport, N. Y., and consists of a
set of the second edition of the American and English Encyclopedia of
Law (32 volumes), of the estimated value of $240.

The Edward Thompson Company Prize for the session of 1909-10 was
awarded to Claiborne Ross McCorkle, LL. B., of Richlands, Va. Subject:
"Subrogation of the Surety in Virginia."
