THE LAW SCHOOL

(For Faculty of Law School see p. 148)

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION, 1909-10

PRE-LEGAL COURSES

Various studies especially valuable in the preliminary education of a lawyer have been designated as "pre-legal courses" and are enumerated below. Though not required, prospective law students are strongly advised to elect at least a year of work (chiefly in the third college year) from this group, and to choose their Junior College electives with this view. Candidates for the degree of LL.B. are also urged to take pre-legal work before entering the Law School.

A choice among the courses offered in the University upon the following subjects is particularly recommended:

Principles of Political Economy; Constitutional and Political History of the United States; National, Federal, State, and Municipal Government; Constitutional and Political History of England; Roman Law; Oral Debates and Argumentation; Bookkeeping and Accounting; Railway Transportation and Regulation of Rates; Economic and Social History; Finance, Money, and Banking; Financial and Tariff History; Organization of Business Enterprise; Introduction to Study of Society; Contemporary Society in the United States; Industrial Groups and Urban Communities; Charities and Social Treatment of Crime; Social Forces in Modern Democracy; Logic and Psychology; Political and Social Ethics.

With the approval of the Dean of the Law School other courses may also be accepted as pre-legal work, especially those offered in the Departments of Political Economy and Political Science, courses in English, American, and modern European history, and courses dealing with modern social and municipal problems. Students who have not had the course in Civil Government in the United States, or who have not completed the English composition required in the Junior Colleges, should take these before entering the Law School.

NOTE. For detailed information concerning the above courses, see the Announcements of the Departments of Political Economy, Political Science, History, and Sociology, which will be sent upon application to the UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.
