Licentiate in Law.
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, except
during the four years of the civil war. The aim of the
Department of Law has always been to maintain a high
standard as a requirement for graduation, and to confer
the degree upon no student who is not thorough master
of the prescribed course of study. This policy has been
rigorously enforced, and its wisdom has been vindicated
by the high positions to which the graduates of the law
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 the changing conditions of modern
life 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 alma mater has always
expected of her sons.
Formerly it was possible for the law student to begin
and complete his professional studies in the office of some
and the code of his State formed the main portion of
his curriculum. That was a time when the authorities were
few, and when the leading principles alone were settled,
and when their application was comparatively simple. In
more recent times, so widened is the scope of the law, so
complex is the application of its principles, so nice and yet
so important its distinctions, so numerous and conflicting
the authorities, that it is scarcely practicable for even the
most successful student to master the subject, in its multiform
phases, without the systematic instruction of skilled
teachers.
These considerations have led to the conviction among
prominent law teachers and practitioners throughout the
country, that no student should essay the practice of the
law who has not spent at least two years in close and attentive
study in a school of law.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The course is organized with a view to acquaint the
student familiarly and practically with the principles of his
profession. Especial care is taken to teach him to think
for himself, and to rely upon reason and principle, rather
than upon memory; it being considered that it is better for
the student to follow the principle to its legitimate conclusion,
though that be at variance with the decisions of the
courts, than to 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 partly through lectures, with
careful daily examinations upon both.
The course is designed to occupy two years, and, since
the future professional success of the student depends upon
his intimate acquaintance with elementary principles, it is
imprudent, if not hazardous, to devote less time to preparation
for practice at the bar. It is a maxim sanctioned by
long and wide experience that "he who is not a good lawyer
when he comes to the bar, will seldom be a good one
of the elements of the law, thought is requisite as well as
reading; and, for the purpose of thought, there must be
time to digest as well as industry to acquire. One cannot
expect to gorge himself with legal principles and to digest
them afterwards; the process of assimilation must accompany
the reception of knowledge, if it is to proceed healthfully
and beneficially.
MOOT COURT.
A Moot Court, with its accompanying instruction,
tends to perfect the student in the details of practice.
Under the immediate supervision of the Professors, he is
required to write opinions upon supposed cases; to draw
wills, contracts, conveyances, and other assurances; to
devise and institute remedies by suit or otherwise; to conduct
actions at law and suits in equity; to argue questions
of law and of fact; and, in short, to perform most of the
functions of practising counsel. The debating societies, of
which there are several, also afford an excellent field for the
cultivation of the powers of oratory and debate.
Through the liberality of several of the leading law
publishers, the department is able to offer a number of
valuable prizes for excellence in the work of the Moot
Court. During the session of 1895-96 the following prizes
were awarded:
1. The EDWARD THOMPSON CO. Prize—American and English
Encyclopedia of Law (2d ed.), 30 volumes—To
Eugene L. Sykes, of Aberdeen, Miss.
2. The WEST PUBLISHING COMPANY Prize—American
Annual Digest, 9 volumes—To George N. Wise, B. L.,
of West Norfolk, Va.
3. The BOSTON BOOK COMPANY Prize—The Green Bag
(bound), 7 volumes—To Harry R. Kern, B. L., of Winchester,
Va.
4. The LITTLE, BROWN & CO. Prize—Kent's Commentaries, 4
volumes—To George P. Raney, B. L., of Tallahassee, Fla.
5. The T. & J. W. JOHNSTON & CO. Prize—Smith's Leading
Cases, 3 volumes—To W. Mason Smith, M. A., of Charleston,
S. C.
LIBRARY.
The department is provided with an excellent law
library, which has recently received considerable additions,
and contains several thousand volumes of well-selected
reports and text-books, English and American. Its location
has been chosen with especial reference to the convenience
of the student. And, while he is not encouraged to venture
for himself into either cases or text-books, save for the
purpose of verifying or clearing up some proposition of the
lecture, or for the preparation of opinions or briefs, the
student is incited to familiarize himself not only with the
leading cases to which his attention is called, but especially
with the bibliography of the law and the use of the
books. To the latter subject, in addition to the instruction
incidentally given, several lectures are specially devoted.
The student is taught how to consult authorities, where to
look, and how to run down cases; how to ascertain the
doctrine of a case, and to distinguish doctrine from dicta; to
analyze, criticise and compare cases; to distinguish imperative
authority from that which is persuasive only; what the
leading text-books are on the various subjects taught, with
some reference to their comparative merits; to prepare
briefs; and, generally, so to accustom himself to law books
and their use as to enable him to investigate, with intelligence
and skill, any question that may come within the
scope of his duty at the bar.
ARRANGEMENT OF CLASSES.
The course of instruction in the Law Department comprises
ten separate classes. Five of these classes constitute
the first year's studies, and five the studies of the second year.
In the first year's course there are seven lectures, and
in the second, eight lectures, weekly. The lectures occupy
an hour and a half each. The first year's course therefore
calls for ten and a half hours of class work a week, and the
second twelve hours. In addition, any professor has the
privilege of requiring attendance upon one extra lecture
or such other instruction as does not add new matter to the
prescribed course upon which the student is to be examined
for graduation.
The following table exhibits an outline of the course:
| First Year. |
1. The Law of Persons; Personal Property; Probate and Administration. |
| 2. The Law of Contracts; Torts; Carriers. | |
| 3. International Law. | |
| 4. Mercantile Law. | |
| 5. Constitutional Law. | |
| Second Year. |
1. The Law of Corporations. |
| 2. The Law of Evidence; Pleading and Practice in Civil Cases. |
|
| 3. The Law of Real Estate. | |
| 4. Equity Jurisprudence and Procedure. | |
| 5. The Law of Crimes and Punishments. |
FIRST YEAR'S COURSE.
1. Law of Persons; Personal Property; Probate and
Administration.
Professor Lile.
The preliminary lectures in this class are devoted to
the nature, sources, and evidences of the law; the absolute
and relative rights, 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
thereof, and the equitable separate estate; parent and
child; and guardian and ward. Later, the study of the law
of personal property is pursued in its various phases, followed
by that of probate and administration. Under the
latter classification are included the execution and construction
of wills; the qualification of personal representatives
and the settlement of their accounts; and the
25—Three times a week.
Text-Books.—1 Minor's Institutes (4th edition).
Burks' Property Rights of Married Women.
The Professor's Printed Notes.
(Others to be announced).
2. Law of Contracts; Torts; Bailments and Carriers.
Professor Dabney.
In this class the student is taught the principles underlying
the formation, validity, interpretation, and discharge
of contracts generally, regardless of their particular subject
matter; the principles of the law of torts, and their application
to the subjects of negligence, nuisance, trespass to
person and property, fraud and deceit, defamation, and
other cases of practical importance; the principles of the
law of carriers of persons and property, whether by land or
by water, and whether by incorporated companies or individuals,
including the transmission of messages by telegraph,
and showing in detail the modern application of the law of
contract and torts to these great agencies of commerce and
of social life.—September 15 to June 1—Twice a week.
Text-Books.—Anson on Contracts (Huffcut's Edition.).
Bigelow on Torts.
Lawson on Bailments.
3. International Law.
Professor Minor.
Under this title are included both public and private
international law. In the study of Public International Law,
are investigated the various rules which regulate the intercourse
of nations; the origin, recognition and equality of
states; their rights in time of peace, and the means whereby
they peaceably procure the enjoyment of those rights; the
laws of war and the rights and duties of belligerents; and,
finally, the rules governing the relations of neutral and
belligerent states.
Private International Law, or the Conflict of Laws,
occupies the second half of this course. The distinctions
lex rei sitœ are impressed upon the student, with the principles
controlling their application.—September 15 to December
18.—Twice a week.
Text-Books.—Public International Law: Glenn.
Private International Law: (To be announced.)
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 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 15
to May 15.—Three times a week.
Text-Books.—Bigelow on Bills and Notes (Students' Series.).
Richards on Insurance.
Text-Book on Partnership: (To be announced.)
The Professor's Notes.
5. Constitutional Law.
Professor Minor.
This is designed to be a continuation of the class in
International Law, dealing as it does with a cognate subject;
but in order to enter it, attendance upon lectures in
the former course is not essential. The two classes are
distinct, and may be completed separately. More attention
is given in this course than has been customary heretofore, to
the judicial interpretation of the Federal Constitution, and
to the great constitutional principles prevailing throughout
the Union; it being considered that familiarity with the
constitutional limitations on the powers of Federal, State
and municipal legislatures is more advantageous to the
theory of government. This course opens with the study
and a general discussion of the Federal Constitution, line
by line and section by section, particularly noting the historical
origin of the more important provisions, with a close
study of such subjects as ex post facto laws, laws impairing
the obligation of contracts, trial by jury, due process of
law, condemnation proceedings under the power of eminent
domain, the police power, interstate commerce, etc.—December
18 to April 9.—Twice a week.
Text-Book.—Black's Constitutional Law.
SECOND YEAR'S COURSE.
1. The Law of Corporations.
Professor Lile.
The recent development of the law of corporations,
both in extent and importance, has induced special stress to
be laid upon this branch of the curriculum. Among other
subjects of lesser import, the lectures embrace the promotion,
organization and management of business corporations;
the formation and enforcement of subscriptions for shares;
corporate duties, powers and liabilities; the relations between
the corporation and the State, between the corporate body
and its shareholders, officers, agents and creditors, and the
reciprocal relations of these with each other; the consolidation,
dissolution and winding up of corporations; and the
appointment, duties and powers of receivers. The principles
applicable to municipal corporations, whether in their
public or their proprietary characters, are fully elucidated;
the subjects of municipal taxation, municipal bonds, franchises
etc., rights and liabilities in connection with streets,
as affecting the municipality, the public generally and the
abutting proprietor, are dealt with in detail.—September 15
to February 15—Twice a week.
Text-Book—Taylor on Corporations (used session 1896-97; Clark may
be substituted 1897-98.)
The Professor's Notes.
2. The Law of Evidence; Pleading and Practice.
Professor Dabney.
In this class are taught:
(1) The general principles of the law of Evidence, with
explanations of the statutory changes, especially those
relating to the competency of witnesses, and the practical
application of these principles to the conduct of inquiries in
court, or before officers authorized to take testimony.
(2) The forms of action, and the forms, principles and
rules of pleading, at common law and under the codes; an
intimate acquaintance with the common law rules and
principles being insisted upon as essential to a proper
knowledge of pleading, under any system.
(3) The organization and jurisdiction of courts, and
the proceedings in a law suit from beginning to end, including
appellate proceedings and the various special and
extraordinary proceedings provided for by common law or
by statute.
(4) The organization and jurisdiction of the Federal
courts; removal of causes from State to Federal courts; the
particulars of conformity or nonconformity between the
procedure at law in the Federal courts and that in the
courts of the State wherein they are held; and appellate
proceedings in the Federal courts.—September 15 to May
20—Three times a week.
Text-Books—Evidence: (To be announced.)
4 Minor's Institutes (4th edition.).
Code Pleading: (To be announced.)
The Professor's Notes.
3. The Law of Real Property.
Professor Minor.
The instruction in this class covers a detailed study of
the subject of real property, in all of its branches. The
nature and several kinds of real estate, and the several
estates therein, with the various principles appertaining to
each, curtesy and dower, the relations of landlord and tenant,
effect of the Statute of Uses, the conditions, covenants
and other qualifications attached to conveyances of land, are
reviewed at length. The historical connection between
ancient and modern doctrines of conveyancing, with the
statutory changes, are carefully traced. Remainders,
reversions and executory limitations, and the principles
governing their creation, validity and effect, together with
the sources of title to lands, whether by descent or by the
manifold forms of purchase, and the principles controlling
each, the subjects of conveyances, contracts to convey,
wills of lands, adverse possession, tax-titles, and the registry
of instruments of title, are investigated in detail. Throughout
the course, emphasis is placed on common law principles,
and effort is made to give the student a clear
comprehension of these, by tracing them to their feudal or
other sources.—November 25 to June 1—Three times a week.
Text-Book—2 Minor's Institutes (4th edition).
The Professor's Notes.
4. Equity Jurisprudence and Procedure.
Professor Lile.
The study of Equity Jurisprudence and Procedure is
taken up immediately upon the completion of the course on
the law of Corporations, to which it is designed to be
supplementary. After consideration of the origin and rise
of the chancery jurisdiction, the student is led carefully
through the usual subjects of equitable cognizance, and
thence into the methods of procedure, as recognized in the
High Court of Chancery in England, and as modified by
statute or by rules of court in America. In the study of
equity jurisprudence, the contrast between legal and equitable
principles is constantly adverted to, and the student is
incited to the appreciation and cultivation of the fine sense
of moral right underlying the doctrines of technical equity.
The procedure in the Federal courts of chancery and in the
chancery courts of Virginia (where the distinction between
legal and equitable procedure is still maintained) is made
draughting the various forms and pleadings, from the
subpœna to the final decree.—February 15 to June 10,
Twice a week.
Text-Book—Bispham's Principles of Equity.
The Professor's Notes.
5. Criminal Law.
Professor Minor.
In the study of this subject the student is made
acquainted with the general principles enforced by the
courts in the administration of criminal justice. He is
instructed as to the nature of the more important crimes,
both common law and statutory. Attention is paid rather
to the acquisition by the student of a thorough knowledge
of the leading principles than to the less important details,
which, with a knowledge of the former, he may readily
acquire for himself. The course of instruction embraces a
study of the forms of procedure, the nature, organization
and duties of grand and petit juries; arrests and bail;
indictments, informations, presentments, and the various
defenses; together with the usual incidents of a criminal
trial, such as challenges of jurors, motions for new trial,
bills of exception, motions in arrest of judgment, and writs
of error.—September 15 to November 25—Three times a week.
Text-Book—Minor's Synopsis of Criminal Law.
The Professor's Notes.
EXAMINATIONS AND DEGREE.
The degree of Bachelor of Law is conferred upon such
students as manifest an intimate acquaintance with all of
the subjects embraced in the course, evidenced by successfully
passing all the written examinations, in each of the
ten classes, and who have satisfactorily performed the Moot
Court or other assigned work.
The rule formerly prevailing in this department required
applicants for the degree to attend the lectures in all the
classes, and to stand all the regular written examinations on
without credit for any class completed in a previous
year—except in the class of Constitutional and International
Law. With the beginning of the session of 1895-96 the
course of study was considerably enlarged, and a radical
departure was inaugurated, by permitting candidates to
complete a portion of the course in one session and the
remainder the following session, without requiring attendance
upon the lectures, or further examinations, in such
classes as may have been previously completed. But a
re-examination in the work of a previous year may be
required, whenever, in any case, it may be deemed proper.
Any one of the five classes of the first or second year
may be completed separately, and for purposes of examination,
the subjects of Evidence and of Pleading and Practice
are regarded as distinct classes. Upon the satisfactory
completion of any class, a certificate is issued to the student,
followed by the diploma of graduation when, (and not until)
all the examinations have been successfully passed.
The general policy of the University is to permit
students to elect their own work, and to give them due
credit for its satisfactory preformance, without regard to the
time devoted to it. There is, therefore, no positive rule
forbidding students to undertake the whole course in a
single year, or withholding from them the degree in case of
its successful completion. But the student is warned that
even though he may have had exceptional legal training he
can scarcely hope to complete the course in one year;
and if by extreme diligence he should succeed in the effort,
he is apt to find that he has acquired more than he has
been able to digest.
The fact is emphasized that since the reorganization of
the department, and the very considerable enlargement of
the course of study, it is practically impossible to complete
the work, as had not been unusual before, in less than two
years. Students who can attend but a single session are
earnestly advised to take special courses, which the
arrangement of the classes readily permits.
No entrance examinations are held, and no advanced standing
can be secured by certificates of work accomplished at other
schools of law—the whole course must be completed here.
Candidates who attain a grade of seventy-five per
centum in any class, but who fail to reach the minimum
standard required for graduation (eighty-three per centum),
are entitled, after matriculation, to stand an examination at
the beginning of the following session on the subjects comprised
in the class or classes in which they have so failed,
and to receive the same credit for the result as if achieved
during the previous session.
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.
Seats in the Law Lecture-rooms are assigned in the
order of matriculation.
EXPENSES.
(IN THE LAW DEPARTMENT.)
A student's expenses may be divided into (1), those
University charges which are the same each year for all
students; (2) those also of the University, which vary with
the course of study pursued; and (3) those charges, embracing
his living expenses, which vary with the purse, tastes,
etc., of the individual.
Under the first head are included:
| Matriculation Fee, | $40.00 |
| Contingent Deposit, | 10.00 |
The Matriculation or University Fee is devoted chiefly
to the current expenses common to the whole University;
it also entitles the student to the use of the Library;
to the privileges of the Gymnasium, with free baths,
private lockers, etc., and the advice and aid of the
Instructor in Physical Culture; and, in addition, to free
medical attention and nursing, in case of illness, in a well-equipped
Infirmary maintained on the grounds for students
alone.
The Contingent Deposit is liable for any damage to
property, or for violation of Library or other University
rules, for which the student is responsible. If no charge
is found against it, it is returned at the end of the session.
Under the second head is comprised the charge for
tuition; this in the Department of Law, varies as follows:
There is a general tuition fee of $100: this covers the charge
for instruction in the regular first or second year's course,
including any first year class taken but not completed the
first year, and brought over into the second year. It also
covers any other combination of five classes. For any combination
of first and second year's work, embracing more
than five classes, the fee is $115; for four classes, $85; for
three classes, $65; for two classes, $40; for one class, $25;
except that the fee for the class of Constitutional Law is $20,
and for that of International Law or of Criminal Law the
fee is $15. University fees and tuition fees are in all cases
payable on entrance.
The expenses under the third head above given vary so
greatly that it is impossible to state them with any degree of
certainty. It can with safety be said that by the strictest
economy the cost of living (including lodging, board, fire,
lights, service and laundry) can be brought within $18 a
month for the session. On this basis, the minimum cost for
the session to a student pursuing the regular course, including
fees, tuition and living, but excluding clothing, traveling
expenses and all sundries may be estimated at about
$310. Most students, however, spend from $20 to $30 a
month for ordinary living expenses; for more detailed
information under this head, reference may be made to the
statement regarding expenses in the Academic Department.
To the above estimate must be added the cost of books
and stationery, about $90 for the entire course. The books,
however, are not fairly to be accounted among the
expenses, since they constitute a permanent investment, and
will form the nucleus of a library when the student becomes
a practitioner.
