LAW SCHOOL 353

REQUIRED AND ELECTIVE COURSES

Candidates for the degree are required to take all the subjects of the
first year, twelve hours of work in the second year, and twelve hours in the
third year. The work of the second and third years is elective. Second-
year students may elect not less than twelve nor more than fourteen hours
in courses offered in the second year. Second-year students who are grad-
uates of the College of Letters and Science and who have not completed all
the courses of the first year will be required to include such omitted courses
in their list of electives. Third-year students may elect not less than
twelve nor more than fifteen hours in courses offered in the third year and
in courses not already taken by them when second-year students. Elections
in all cases are subject to the approval of the Dean.

PROCEDURE AND PRACTICE COURSES

Courses in procedure and practice extend throughout the last two years
and comprise Evidence, four credits; Office Practice, two credits; Pleading,
four credits; Practice, four credits; Practice Court, one credit. The pur-
pose of the courses is to instruct the student in the principles of pleading
and practice at common law and under the codes, by duplicating as far as
possible the steps taken by an active practitioner in the preparation for
trial of cases at law and in equity throughout the entire field of litigation.
The student prepares pleadings in assigned cases and carries a cause of
action through the various steps from its inception to the final judgment.
The course in office practice involves the drafting of ordinary legal docu-
ments, such as bills of sale, deeds, wills, and articles of incorporation, and
the examination of abstracts of title.

STUDIES OUTSIDE THE LAW SCHOOL

Students of the Law School may pursue, without additional fees,
studies in other departments of the University for which they are prepared,
in so far as such studies do not interfere with their work in the Law School.
Before registering in other departments, the student must obtain permis-
sion from the Dean of the Law School. Credit toward the law degree will
be granted for Economics 208; no credit toward the law degree is given for
other studies taken outside the Law School.
