Higher education is a patri-

of no benefit to the Country in this crisis.

The large number of young lawyers admitted to the
officers' training camps evidences the value of legal training
preliminary to military service.
The war is creating problems of statesmanship, diplomacy,
and of political and industrial reorganization, the solution of
which calls for men of legal education.
Already the war is
initiating new business enterprises and complications wherein
the services of lawyers are required.
Last year the College
had more calls for its graduates than it could supply; and it is
believed
that
demand
will
become
greater
as the
war
progresses.
ADVANTAGES OF THE STATE LAW SCHOOL
It is the purpose of the College to impart a thoro, scien-
tific, and practical knowledge of the law, and thus to equip
its students to take advantage of the splendid opportunities
in the State.
No effort has been spared to make it the best
school in the country for future practitioners in Florida, and
attention is directed to the following reasons why young men
desiring to study law will find it to their advantage to attend
the State Law School:

Both

and
students
feel
exceedingly
grateful
these
lee-
turers for the kindly interest they have manifested in the Col-
lege and for the resulting uplift and inspiration.
FLORIDA LAW.-Particular stress is placed on the statutory
modifications of the common law in Florida and the decisions
of the Supreme Court of the State.

A lawyer educated
outside of the state
which he
begins to

will find that he
is unfamiliar with these weapons and that much of his ammu-

The
struction offered in this College combines these three methods
of teaching law in such a manner as to give the student the
best possible results.
SIZE OF CLASSES.-A comparatively small law school offers
many advantages over a large one, since a student comes into
closer contact with the Faculty, receives more individual at-
tention,
inspired
greater
effort,
recites
oftener
and
longer, and enjoys greater opportunities for the development
of legal reasoning.

ible with individual instruction

Believing that students obtain in the Moot
Court a better practical knowledge of pleading and
practice
than can be acquired in any other way, aside from the trial of
actual cases, the Faculty lay special emphasis upon this work.
Sessions of the Moot Court are held throut the year in an ad-

Graduates of two-year law schools will find it of decided
advantage to

State
University and
take a degree on the basis of the three-year course.
The priv-

bition, who will take advantage of this opportunity to receive
a superior legal training, is one of the many advantages of-
fered by the College.
After consultation with the members of the bench and bar
of the State and a careful study of the curricula of other law
schools of distinction, the following course of study has been
adopted:
