1. Law of Persons; Personal Property; Wills and
Administration.

Professor Lile.

Adj. Prof. Dobie (1907-'08).

The preliminary lectures in this class are devoted to the nature,
sources and evidences of the law; the absolute and relative rights of persons,
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; 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, of personalty and administration. Under the
latter classification are included the execution 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.—
