The Yale Law School.

passing the same examination as is required of regular students and satisfying strict re quirements insuring the same preparation. Upon the completion of the second year, and after thorough examination, the degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) is given. The Faculty believe that more than two years' study should be required before the bachlor's degree is conferred, but have felt that it is impracticable to insist upon such a requirement at the present time. There is no school in which such a degree cannot be obtained after two years' attendance, though there are several in which the required course extends over three years, in one at least of which the bachelor's degree is conferred after two years' residence, and that of Matter of Arts added for those who complete the full course. The policy of the Faculty of the Yale School has been to insist upon a high standard of work for two years, and give the opportunity for further study in the graduate courses. Following is the curriculum of the regular undergraduate and graduate courses : —
