Trial by Deposition HE LAST MILE-There is an impression among Hrst- and second-year students that third-year men are a sophisticated group who have left the world of briefing and reviewing to pass into an airy realm of easy contemplation. But in fact, pending graduates feel just as keenly as their first-year brothers the uncertainty that lies ahead. The Bar Examiners and the prospect of practice can engender the same feeling of inse- curity as the Casebook Method. As third-year men, they realize that they are to become the freshest of all freshmen-candidates to practice. But most of the third-year men look forward with anticipation rather than awe to the future. After all they have run their obstacle course from res ipsa to res gCSt21C, and whatever fate may bring to them it can never be so initially mysterious. Indeed an appearance of short-lived exaltation lf ludges in the Courts of Equity reached decisions only after long and careful considerrztion of zurirzcn de- positions. The law student undergoes a three-year trial, and professors decide his fate in each course after grading examination papers. may well be pardoned this battle-worn group as they receive their diplomas. BUT SOME GO FURTHER-Yet, a few hardy souls, for many reasons fnot too easily understood by a majority of their brethrenj elect to return to law school for a year of graduate study. Some want to teach, knowing that today a graduate degree is an almost essential prerequisite to this phase of the profession. Others desire a more thorough legal foundation, perhaps with an eye to specialization in some particular Held. As stu- dents their motives and ways of thinking differ on many things, but all are cognizant of the ad- vantages of possessing a graduate degree in law, whether in order to go into actual practice, teach, or enter the business world.
