The Law School is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and is on the approved list of schools compiled by the American Bar Association. The primary objective of the Law School is to prepare students for the practice of law in Louisiana, where the civil law legal system prevails. In its curriculum and general program the school seeks to encourage scholarship and re- search in order to lay the foundation for scientific investiga- tion of the problems of legal adjustment of human relations and to stimulate legal authorship. wW- jm jm iiam i, a y Left to right, John McMahon, president; Roland Mc- Kneely, secretary-treasurer.

Junior Division The Junior Division provides for the special needs of entering students and administers their work during the first year. It gives students who have not definitely decided on future plans a chance to make this decision during their initial year of college work, provides guidance by profes- sionally trained counselors, and supervises students more closely than do the senior colleges. Junior Division admin- isters placement tests during freshman orientation and con- ducts a preadmission testing program. tmf 3 Sitting, left to right, Vicki Houston, secretary; Charlcie Whitesides, representative; Anne Wolfe, vice president; standing, James Smith, president, Winston Day, represen- tative.
