4. Mercantile Law.
Professor Lile.
Adj. Prof. Dobie (1907-'08).
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 many States, including Virginia, and likely to be adopted
throughout the country. In addition to the study of the general principles
of the law of insurance, attention is devoted to particular clauses most
usual 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
27 to end of session—Three times a week.
Text-Books.—Bigelow on Bills, Notes, and Cheques (Student's Series—2d ed.);
Vance on Insurance; Mechem on Partnership; The Negotiable Instruments Law;
The Professor's Notes.
