HISTORY Hastings College of the Law was created by Act of the Legislature of California, approved March 26, 1878, which provided for its affiliation with the University of California. The College was endowed by Hon. Seranno Clinton Hastings, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California, after whom the school is named. During the early years of the college, Professor John Norton Pomeroy occupied the position of Professor of Municipal Law, and during his incumbeney wrote his work on Equity Jurisprudence. Upon the death of Professor Pomeroy in 1885, Hon. Charles W. Slack was appointed to the faculty and from 1894 until 1899 acted as Professor of Municipal Law and Dean of the Faculty. Between the years 1888 and 1894, Hon. E. W. McKinstry, formerly a Justice of the Supreme Court of California, was Professor of Municipal Law. For twenty years beginning with the time of the retirement of Judge Slack from the faculty in 1899, Dr. Edward Robeson Taylor served as Professor of Law and Dean of the College. LOCATION The classrooms and quarters of the College are located on the fourth floor of the San Francisco City Hall, in the same building with the courts and the city and county offices, and on the same floor with the San Francisco Law Library, the most extensive law library on the Pacific Coast. The opportunities thus afforded the student in the college are practically unexcelled among city law schools. PURPOSE The purpose of the College is to furnish systematic and thorough instruction in those branches of our jurisprudence which will fit the student for the practice of the profession of law. With this end in view, the courses which are given are based primarily on the case-book method, the aim being to develop the analytical powers of the student, and his familiarity with the historical development of the law. Especial attention is given to the codes and statutes of California and the decisions of the California courts. MOOT COURT Moot courts, under the direction of members of the faculty, are established as a regular mode of instruction. Participation therein is compulsory upon all students. LECTURES In addition to the regular courses, lectures are delivered from time to time by judges and lawyers upon special topies. Among the lectures delivered during the year 1919-1920 were the following: Hon. John B. Clayberg: "The Genesis and Development of Mining Law in California"; "The Location of a Mining Claim." Hon. Warren Olney, Jr.: "The Qualifications of a Lawyer. Hon. Annette A. Adams: "Criminal Procedure in the Federal Courts.'' Hon. Rolla B. Watt: "Justices' Court Procedure in California.'' A course of lectures upon the use of law books was also delivered by Jacob Goldberg, Esq., of the San Francisco bar. LIBRARY FACILITIES In addition to our own library, students are permitted to use the Bar Association Library (during office hours) and the San Francisco Law Library. The San Francisco Law Library is on the same floor in the City Hall as that of this College. It contains more than 46,000 volumes. CALENDAR 1920 August 9-16-Registration of students.
