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.

From the establishment of the Law School until 1894, the course comprised
the work of a single year. With the session of 1894-1895, a two
years' course was inaugurated, which continued up to the session of 19091910,
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 School are
accustomed to attain at the bar and 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.

Minor Hall.—The Law School is accommodated in its own building,
designated as Minor Hall, in honor of the late John B. Minor, whose distinguished
service of fifty years as a professor in the Law School the University
thus commemorates. There are on the first floor four large lecture
halls, with convenient offices, lavatories, etc., and on the second floor a stack
room with ample space for books, two commodious reading rooms, and a
number of offices for the use of the librarian and the teaching staff.

Law Library.—The Library contains more than twenty thousand volumes.
Its financial resources, from appropriations by the Visitors, and from
income from special endowments, make possible substantial additions annually.
The Library contains the English Reports, practically complete,
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; selected and annotated reports, together with modern
searchbooks in the form of general Digests, and the leading Encyclopedias,
besides a large collection of textbooks, and bound volumes of law magazines.
Practically all the current legal periodicals are received. Law students
have the privileges of the general University Library, containing more than
ninety thousand volumes.

The Library is the beneficiary of three special endowments: One of
$10,000, the gift of William W. Fuller, Esq. ('78); another of $10,000, the
gift of Farrell Dabney Minor, Esq, ('83) and Mrs. Minor, in memory of
their son, the late Lieutenant Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr. ('11), who died in
France (1918), from wounds received in battle; and one of $5,100, the gift
of the Coolidge Family of Boston as a memorial to their distinguished ancester,
Thomas Jefferson.

In 1922 the late Judge George Moffet Harrison (LL.B. 1807) judge of
the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia from 1895 to 1917, and president
of the Court from 1916 to 1917, presented his entire well selected law library
of several hundred volumes to the Law School; and the Honorable John
Bassett Moore (1880), Permanent Court of International Justice at the
Hague, is the donor of an especially fine collection of books on International
Law, designated as the John Bassett Moore Library of International Law,
which is regularly receiving additions through the generosity of Judge
Moore.

In memory of the late Professor Raleigh Colston Minor the alumni and
active members of the Minor Inn of Phi Delta Phi have made a gift to the
University for the establishment and maintenance of a section of the Law
Library, on Legal Ethics and Legal History.

Virginia Law Review.—Under the title of the Virginia Law Review, the
undergraduate students of the Law School conduct a law journal devoted
to the discussion of general questions of American jurisprudence. Eight
numbers are issued annually, from October to May inclusive. The Review
is now in its twelfth volume. From its inception it has maintained a high
standard of excellence, and a worthy rank among the leading law journals
of the country.

The Law School is a member of the Association of American Law
Schools; is registered by the Regents of the University of the State of New
York as meeting the requirements of the Court of Appeals regulating admission
to the bar in that State; and is rated Class "A" by the Council on Legal
Education and Admission to the Bar, of the American Bar Association.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

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

The experience of the Law Faculty—indeed, of all law teachers—is, that
the standing and progress of law students may, in general, be measured by
their academic preparation. Students are therefore advised not to begin
their legal studies until they have completed an academic course approximating
that required for a baccalureate degree. So high a standard, however, is
not as yet exacted as a condition of entrance into the Law School. These
conditions are shown in the following sections.

1. Regular Students.—Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Laws
must have attained the age of nineteen years (counting to the nearest birthday)
before entering the department, must produce a certificate of good
character from the school or college last attended, or from other satisfactory
source, and must conform to the general requirements following:

For Admission to the Department of Law, in addition to the completion
of an approved high school course of four years, or its equivalent, the candidate
must present evidence that for at least two years he has pursued in a
standard college courses leading to a baccalaureate degree, of which he
must have successfully completed at least thirty session-hours.[1]

A session-hour is one hour a week of recitation, or two hours a week
of laboratory work, throughout the college year.

Credit will be given for completed courses only. A completed course
is one for which the student is entitled to final credit toward a baccalaureate
degree from the institution in which the work was done, without further
pursuit of that course.

It is deemed advisable that in preparation for entering the Law School
the student select his courses from among the following subjects: English,
Latin, French or Spanish, History, a Natural Science, Mathematics, Government,
Accounting, and for students of more than average maturity Economics,
Logic and Ethics.

Admission of Women.—With the beginning of the session of 1920-21,
women were admitted to the Law School for the first time. The conditions
of their admission are the same as in the case of male applicants.

The High School Subjects for Admission to the College, and their values
in units are indicated in the General Catalogue of the University, in connection
with that department.

Evidence of the Required High School and College Work must be in the
form of a certificate, properly authenticated by the Registrar or other
authorized official of the institution at which the work was done. Such certificate
of College work must indicate the courses completed, the grades
received, the time devoted to each course, and the credit, in session or semester
hours, at which each such course is valued toward a baccalaureate degree.

2. Special Students.— A limited number of applicants who are at least
23 years old and who present proper evidence of good character and of needful
maturity and training, though unable to fulfill the foregoing entrance
requirements, may, by special action of the Law Faculty, in exceptional
cases, be admitted as special students, and not as candidates for the degree.[2]

Every applicant for admission as a special student is required to make
written application to the Dean of the Law School, on a blank furnished for
the purpose, with detailed information as to his age, general habits, his educational
and business experience, and his general fitness to undertake the
study of law. Such application, together with such testimonials as may be
required, should be filed with the Dean of the Law School not later than
September 1 of the year in which the applicant desires to enter the Law
School.

Every such applicant for admission as a special student must (if required)
pass a satisfactory examination, to be held at the University during
the registration days of the session. The examination, which will be conducted
by a committee of the law Faculty, may include the subjects of English,
American and English History, and Civil Government.

Special students who fail to complete 60 per cent. of the work taken
during any session may be declared ineligible for readmission the following
session.

Admission with Credits.—No advanced standing, or other credit is given
for attendance at another law school, nor for time spent in private reading.
The candidate for graduation must spend three years in residence, and pursue
all required courses in the curriculum, and pass the regular examinations
therein.[3]

In the discretion of the Dean and of the professors in charge, an exception
to the foregoing regulation may be made in the courses in Public Speaking
and International Law, where these courses have been completed in
an approved institution of collegiate rank before entrance into the Law
School—provided credit for such courses has not already been utilized as a
necessary credit on entrance requirements.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Session begins on the Thursday preceding the nineteenth of September,
and continues for thirty-nine weeks, ending about June 15. The
first three days of the session are given to registration, and all students, both
old and new, are required during that time to place their names upon the
books of the University and the rolls of their respective classes. Lecture
courses begin on the Monday following, and absences will be recorded against
any student not present from the opening lecture of each course. Students
entering after the first three days, without satisfactory excuse, will be
charged a fee for registration.

The session is divided into Three Terms. The first term ends December
23; the second, March 21; and the third, with the close of the session.

Late Entrance.—Students are advised that late entrance upon the work
of any term is a serious hindrance to progress. The student who enters late
must begin his work at the point to which the several courses have advanced
at the time of his entrance; and credit for three years' attendance cannot be

secured unless the student is in actual residence at least thirty weeks per
session. No student may register for the work of the first term after October
15, nor for that of the second term after January 10—nor is registration
in absentia permissible.

When Students May Enter.—It is highly desirable that students of any
year, and particularly those of the first year, should enter at the beginning
of the session. Where this is impossible students may register at the beginning
of the second term, but not later, save in exceptional cases. In case of
such late entrance the student's chief handicap (often a serious one) will
be lack of familiarity with preceding courses, on some of which his own work
may be based. Entrance at the beginning of the later term, therefore, is
not advised, but only permitted. Where the student has thus entered in a
later term, he may not make up the work of the earlier term except by
returning for such portion of a fourth year as is covered by the term omitted.

Expenses.—The necessary expenses of a student in the Department of
Law may be estimated at $500 per session of nine months. This minimum
estimate includes all university and tuition fees, board, lodging, laundry and
books. An average estimate would be $600 per session, reckoning living expenses
at a somewhat higher figure. The university fee applicable to all
law students (including those from Virginia) is $60; and the tuition fee
for residents of Virginia is $170; for non-residents, $190.

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

Plan of Instruction.—The instruction is sought to be made as thorough
as possible, and is given mainly through textbooks and lectures, supplemented
in many of the courses by the study of cases. While convinced of the value
of the combined textbook and lecture system, which has prevailed for practically
a century in the Law School, the Law Faculty have long appreciated
the value that the study of cases possesses in teaching the student to work
out for himself the principles involved, and in illustrating the practical application
of legal rules. The present organization of the Law School gives
opportunity for more emphasis on this form of instruction, and the casebook
is now used more extensively than heretofore—not as supplanting, but
as supplementing, textbooks and lectures.

The daily oral quiz has long been a marked and, as experience has
proved, a valuable feature of the system of instruction. This oral quiz is
supplemented by frequent written tests, the results of which are carefully
recorded, and, in the professor's discretion, are considered in estimating the
final grade of the student.

Practical Work.—In the procedural courses, in Draughting, in Forensic
Debating, and in Legal Bibliography and Brief Making, special stress is
laid upon practical work. In the course on Legal Bibliography and Brief

Making, an intimate acquaintance with law books and skill in their use are
secured by lectures and demonstrations three times a week during the first
term of the first year, accompanied by the assignment of practical work in
the library, on which numerous oral and written tests are held; and in the
third year briefs on assigned topics are required to be prepared according
to rigorous standards. Much practical work is done in the headnoting of
cases, on scientific principles.

Required for Graduation.—The degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) is
conferred upon such students as 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), and at least two
elective courses, one of which must be Virginia Pleading or Code Pleading.

THE WILLIAM H. WHITE FOUNDATION

This Foundation was established in 1922 by a gift of $10,000 by Mrs.
Emma Gray White, widow, Mrs. Emma Gray Trigg, daughter, and W. H.
Landon White and William H. White, Jr., sons, of the late William H.
White, a distinguished alumnus and for many years a Visitor of the University.
The conditions require that the income be used in securing each session
the delivery before the University Law School of a series of lectures,
preferably not less than three in number, by a jurist or publicist, who is
specially distinguished in some branch of jurisprudence, domestic, international,
or foreign; and that the lecturer present some fresh or unfamiliar
aspect of his subject. Each series of lectures shall possess such unity that
they may be published in book form; and the copyright thereof shall vest
in the Foundation.

The first lectures under the William H. White Foundation were delivered
during the session of 1923-24 by Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard
Law School, upon the subject of "Codification." For the session of 1924-25,
the lecturer was the Hon. Newton D. Baker, of Cleveland, Ohio, and his
subject "Progress and the Constitution."

OUTLINE OF COURSES

The schedule, as outlined below, contemplates an average of fifteen lecture
periods (of one hour each) per week.

Written examinations are held during the final week of each term, on
the subjects completed during the term, except that the third term examinations
in the courses of the third year are held one week earlier.

GENERAL REGULATIONS

1. Registration of New Students.—Before registration in the Law School,
students who have not before been registered in any department of the
University must produce to the Dean of the Law School (office in Minor
Hall) a proper certificate indicating that entrance requirements have been
fulfilled.

2. Registration Generally.— Students must register in advance (1) at
the office of the Dean of the Law School and (2) at the office of the Registrar
for every course taken, and no credit will be given for work done in any
course without proper registration therefor.

3. Delayed Registration.— Students are not permitted to delay registration
through carelessness or for inadequate reasons. Any student, new
or old, who fails without good cause to present himself for registration
during the first three days of the session, and between the hours of nine
a. m. and one-thirty p. m. on the first week-day after the Christmas Recess,
will be charged a special registration fee of five dollars.

4. Exchange or Omission of Courses.— After registration no course may
be exchanged or omitted except on the written approval of the professor in
charge and of the Dean.

5. Carrying over Uncompleted Work.—Students who are seriously deficient
in the work of one year will be re-admitted on probation; and where
the Law Faculty deems the deficiency serious enough the student must repeat
the lectures in the courses in which he is deficient. No optional attendance
is permissible in such cases, and only such limited amount of new
work may be taken as will not conflict with the previously incomplete work.

6. Probation.— Students on probation are not entitled to leaves of absence
except for imperative cause, nor are they permitted to become members
or officials of athletic, musical, debating or other student organizations
which publicly represent the University.

7. Conditions of Readmission.— Any student who, without satisfactory
cause, has not attained for the session, on his examinations, credit for courses
comprising in the aggregate at least 250 lecture periods, will be excluded
from the Law School the following session, with the privilege of returning,
on conditions, the next session thereafter.

In this connection, attention is called to Regulation 5 foregoing.

8. Invalids.— Students whose condition of health is too precarious to
permit regular attendance upon lectures, but not serious enough to admit
them as patients of the hospital, will be required to withdraw from the University
until able to resume their regular work.

9. First-Year Students.— Failure on the part of any first-year student,
without just cause, to attain, for the first term, an average grade of 75
per cent. on the daily written quizzes, will place such student on probation
for the remainder of the session, and the student and his parent or guardian

will be so notified. Unless, in the opinion of the Law Faculty, a decided
improvement in the character of his work is indicated at the end of the
second term, his resignation will be required.

10. Late Entrance into Classes.— No credit is given for the completion of
any course upon which the student has entered after fifty per centum of
the lectures thereon have been delivered. See requirements for Graduation,
ante, p. 251.

11. Minimum for Which Student Must Register.—No student, without special
permission, and for good cause, may register for less than thirteen
periods per week.

12. Optional Attendance.—A student who has attended the required lectures
on any subject but has failed on the examination, may, on written
application, with the endorsed approval of the professor in charge, and of
the Dean, secure optional attendance on such subjects the following session,
but subject to Regulation 5.

Re-examinations are granted only in this form, or in that designated
in Regulation 20, infra.

13. Advanced Work.— Students of one year are not permitted to anticipate
the courses of a subsequent year, without urgent reasons satisfactory
to the Dean.

14. General Requirements.— Every student of the Law School is required
to attend all regular exercises of the classes of which he is a member,
and to perform all the work assigned, including quizzes and examinations,
unless excused for good cause.

15. Dean's Privileged List.— An average examination grade of ninety
per cent. for the first two years will entitle the student to a place on the
"Dean's List," which carries with it the privilege of exemption from penalties
for absence from lectures or for failures to hand in answers to daily
quizzes. The privilege will not exempt students from any required practical
work, or review quizzes, and is subject to the control of the professors in
charge of Forensic Debating and Draughting. The Dean may revoke the
privilege if abused.

16. Extra-Curriculum Activities—Reports to the Dean.— Students of the
Law School who propose to become members or officials of athletic, musical,
debating or other student organizations which publicly represent the University,
or who propose to devote a material portion of their time to work
outside the Law School, are required to report their names and proposed
activities at the Dean's office for official approval. In no case will such approval
be given to a student on probation. See Regulation 6 foregoing.

17. Absence from the University is permitted on the written leave of
the Dean of the Law School. But leaves of absence for the purpose of accompanying
the athletic teams or musical clubs on excursions will not be
granted, except to the officers and members of the organization. Nor, except

for good cause, may leaves be granted in anticipation or extension of
holidays.

18. Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors for sickness
or other imperative cause. Such excuses must be rendered promptly.
Unexcused absences from lectures render the student liable to be disciplined.

19. Special Examinations.—No special examinations are granted, save in
cases of sickness on the day of examination (attested by physician's certificate),
or for other imperative cause approved by the Law Faculty. In no
case will such examination be granted unless prompt application be made
therefor.

20. Third-Year Students—Incomplete Work.—A candidate for the degree
who in his third year is found deficient in one or more subjects, may return
the following session and, without further attendance upon lectures, stand
the regular examinations on such of his uncompleted subjects as the Dean
and the professor or professors in charge may approve. But this privilege
may be exercised but once—that is to say, after a second failure the
candidate must take the lectures over again, on the subject or subjects on
which he has for a second time proved deficient. In exceptional cases and
for good cause this privilege may be extended to the student of any year.
See Regulation 12.

21. Examination Fees.—The fee for standing such examinations as are
mentioned in the preceding regulation is $5 for each examination taken.
Students, who, under such circumstances, return for further lectures, and
who have paid full matriculation and tuition fees for three years, pay a
matriculation fee in proportion to the amount of work taken plus $5 for
each course.

There is no charge for special examinations granted for imperative
cause.

22. Application for Degree.—Candidates for graduation are required to
file a written application with the Dean, not later than November 15 of
their third year, indicating the courses completed, together with a schedule
of the courses to be pursued during their final year. Blanks for this purpose
will be supplied at the Dean's office.

23. Required Withdrawal.—The right is reserved to require the withdrawal
of any student who, in the opinion of the faculty, is not profiting nor
likely to profit by the instruction offered; or whose neglect or irregular performance
of required duties, after admonition, indicates indifference or contumacy;
or whose character or habits are a menace to the good order of
the Law School.

24. Honor System.—All quizzes and examinations are conducted under
the Honor System.
