Professor Lile.

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.—September 16 to March 1—Three times a week.
