o Organized with the founding of the University of Miami in 1926, the School of Law through competent leadership has built a reputation of high standing and is recognized as one of the best of the southern law schools. CThe standard course of three year’s study by the ‘‘case method” leads to the degree of Bachelor of Laws. This course, having l een approved by the Supreme Court of Florida, admits graduate students to practice anywhere in the State upon presentation of diplomas, thus eliminating oiiANRAsco the necessity of bar examinations. II Law students are afforded excellent opportunities for the acquisition of knowledge of practice as well as a broad legal training by attending the sessions of the Miami Courts, which include federal and state courts of all jurisdiction except the Supreme Court. This phase of training familiarizes the student with the procedure of the various courts and the manner in which experienced attorneys conduct their cases. ©The aim of the law school is to teach the student the fundamental principles of English and American law. with special emphasis on Supreme Court decisions, so that he may be adequately equipped to practice law confidently and successfully. CA high standard of ethics is stressed. The student is urged toward a goal embracing integrity and honor, the attainment of which will reflect credit upon his name and his profession. The principles of good citizenship are expounded as of greater importance than mere remuneration. a w Russell Austin Rasco, Dean of the School of Law. John M. Flowers, Assistant Professor of Law.
