Throughout all the courses emphasis is laid upon the holdings of the Montana courts with respect to the questions which are established in this jurisdiction. The students are encouraged to study the Code and familiarize themselves with Mon- tana procedure. llxhaustive and practical courses in Mining and Irrigation Law are otfered, the courses being recognized as the standard for the treatment of these subjects in the law schools of America. Judge john B. Clayberg of San Francisco, consulting Dean of the Law School, comes yearly to Missoula for a series of lec- tures on Mining Law. The standing of judge Clayberg as a pre-eminent author- ity in this field, combined with his warm personality, make his visits points of keenly anticipated interest. That men who intend to practice in Western states realize the advisability of securing their education in a VVestern law school is evidenced hy the number of men of quality who have migrated to Montana from other schools. The Law School was admitted to membership in the Association of American Law Schools at the annual meeting in IQI4. The students regard as signihcant the fact that no other law school in the Northwest is a member of this association. In IQI4 the Legislature passed a law admitting graduates of the Law School to practice in Montana without examination, subject to the discretion of the Supreme Court. Encouraging reports have been received with reference to the establishing in the Law School of a chapter of l'hi Delta Phi, international fraternity. The Law School is justly proud of the recognition thus achieved. The students of the Law School recognize, however, that these matters have brought to them added obligations. The earnestness of purpose which pervades the school is un- mistakable and, we are glad to say, it is continually becoming more marked. Notwithstanding the rigid requirements with respect to scholastic standing, the students of the school are conspicuously represented in student activities, five of the University debaters are law men: seven of the members of the famous 6-6 Page Nineteen

. we - . -fs, .p THESE, t Maj ll , ,. . Y JUDGE CLAYBERG The students are no exception to the class who call that grand old man by his title, and it pleases him to hear This boys speak so fzuniliarly to him. It was hlolm ll Cflayberg' who nursed the new department i through the earlier days of its existence and his was the influence which sustained the new department when sustenance was vitally in need. llis aeeoinplislnnents have lieretofore been set forth and it is not necessary to recount them at this time. Only once in a lifetime y does one come across such a character. XVhile the - .ludg'e is a scholar in every sense of the word, still -'VDU 3 -'WN lf- f-'UWB 7'W he is also a man of the world and able to appreciate the attitude of those lesser informed than himself. 'I'his faculty has made him a man able to carry out a movement of magnitude with very little display and at the same time with the highest degree of efficiency. l'ndoubtedly the most valuable in- gredient in the make-up ol' judge Clayberg' is his human kindness. This quality has so endeared him to the law students that each one of them is ready to do battle whenever even so much as an insinuation is made upon his ability or integrity. lividence of the faith of the lawyers in their patron saint can be seen whenever a case comes up for discussion wherein judge Clayberg' was counsel or judge. Il he has won, which he has the habit of doing, then all are agreed that the case must be right: if, on the other hand. the decision was adverse to him, all are equally agreed that there is something' wrong' with the reasoning' of the eourt. and all eases decided by Vlayberg' are unquestionably right to the law students, even though the United States Supreme Court has delivered a contrary opinion upon the subject. There cannot be the slightest shadow of doubt that this pioneer lawyer has the profoundest respect and the everlasting' allection of all of his boys.
