University of Iowa Law School-1884

Chas. W. Farr, who is attending school at Iowa City, sends us the new regulations in the University Law Department as follows:

Hereafter the course of instruction in this Department will extend over two school years of forty weeks each. This departure from the one year or annual course is necessitated by recent Iowa legislation and is in the interest of higher education. The course of study is accordingly much enlarged. The work of the Junior and Senior years will be kept separate. Students will be received at the beginning of any term. The conditions of graduation are full age, good character, requisite learning, and two years attendance. Provided, that one year spent in legal study in a law office, or one years practice as a licensed attorney, or one years study in a reputable law school, may be received as an equivalent for one years attendance in this school. Provided further, that every applicant for advance standing must undergo an examination under the direction of the Faculty upon the several subjects laid down in the two years course, but not regularly studied while attending this school.
