EXAMINATIONS AND DEGREES.
The degree of Bachelor of Law is conferred upon such students as have attended
two full sessions (of nine months each) of the law school, and who 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 classes, and
who have satisfactorily performed the Moot Court or other assigned work.
Any one of the five classes of the first or second year may be completed separately,
and for purposes of examination (only) 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, fifteen in number, have
been successfully passed.
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.
