4. FOR THE Degree of Doctor of JurisprudeNCE.

No student will be admitted as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence unless he shall hold a baccalaureate degree conferred by some institution of approved standing after the completion of a liberal course of undergraduate academic study, and possess a reading knowledge of Latin, French, and German. At the discretion of the Faculty, however, other languages may be substituted when the character of the work undertaken is such as to warrant it. The right is reserved to the Faculty of Graduate Studies to decide in all cases whether the applicant has given sufficient evidence that his antecedent training fulfills these requirements. In addition, the candidate must hold the degree of Bachelor of Laws from this University or from some other institution requiring equivalent work as a prerequisite to that degree.

5. SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Persons who for any reason do not qualify as candidates for a degree may, on the recommendation of the Faculty and with the assent of the professors whose courses they elect to take, be admitted as special students.

ADVANCED STANDING.

Students may be admitted to advanced standing in the second or third year classes upon satisfying the requirements for the work of the preceding year or years. These requirements may be met by presenting certificates from other law schools of accredited standing showing that the student has successfully completed equivalent courses, or by passing the regular examinations set for that purpose at the beginning of the term, after the student has shown that he has pursued a course of study in the subjects upon which he is examined, covering at least as many hours as are required for such subjects in this University.

All examinations that may be required of applicants for advanced standing are held during the first week of each session.

METHOD OF INSTRUCTION.

Instruction in the class-room is based upon the study and discussion of cases. In some of the courses students are required to read parallel assignments in text-books.

In conducting the discussion of cases in the class-room every effort is made to lead the student to a clear understanding of the fundamental legal principles that may be involved, and to afford him scientific training in accurate methods of study and of reasoning along legal lines.

Subjects involving the adjective law are in charge of professors who are engaged in active practice. The general principles of these subjects,

taught in the same manner as indicated above, are developed by practice before the Moot Courts.

UNDERGRADUATE PROFESSIONAL COURSES.

Undergraduate students in Arts and Sciences upon the completion of forty-five units of credit may take the first year's work of the course for Bachelor of Laws, crediting them fifteen units, on the completion of which they may receive the academic degree.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

A. LEADING TO THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF LAWS. The course of instruction leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws extends through a period of three years. A minimum of thirty-six hours' work is required of all candidates for this degree.

Students devoting their whole time to the study of law may, with the permission of the Dean, select additional subjects from the second and third years, provided the aggregate of the hours taken does not exceed fifteen a week. Such excess credits may be applied toward the degree of Master of Laws.
