.ynfrocfuclfion fo Gurf mr Perhaps one of the most significant and valuable courses in Suffolk Law School's curriculum in giving the student a well balanced and integrated legal education, is its Court Work. This required course was established with view to affording the student the widest possible experience in practice, pleading and evidence, and in the belief that the law student should begin his practical experience in the law school and not encounter it for the first time after he has passed the Bar examination and been admitted to the Bar. The court system consists of four courts, a Supreme Court, a Superior Court, a Probate Court, and a District Court. Members of the Faculty supplemented by Judges of the Massachusetts Courts sit as Judges. The jurisdiction of these courts is based upon that of the like courts of Massachusetts. Practice in these courts is conducted strictly in accordance with the laws, statutes and rules of Courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.-the aim being to teach practice, pleading and evidence by experience in the courts, thus supplementing class exercises in these subjects. The court work also purposes to give the student a working knowledge of court address and develop in him a sense of professional responsibility. Each student in his Senior year is required to act as counsel in at least two cases,-in one as counsel for the plaintiff, and in another as counsel for the defendant. Students draw their own writs and other process, have them served by the school sheriff and return them to the clerk's office as required by the statutes and rules of court of the Commonwealth. Each counsel draws and files his own pleadings, and other papers at or within the times fixed by law. Failure to do so entails the consequences which would follow such failure in actual litigation. Counsel for the parties act independently of each other in the preparation of pleadings and of the case for trial. Cases must be heard when reached on the lists, unless reasons are presented adequate to satisfy the court to grant postponement. The student is encouraged to make his experience as extensive as possible by filing, when proper, demurrers, motions to dismiss, pleas, special answers, interrogatories, affidavits of no cause of action or of no defence, motions for directed verdicts, requests for instructions, motions for new trials, appeals, bills of exception and reports. Actual trials are held before juries impanelled from the student body, or in jury waived sessions. Law sessions of the courts are held for interlocutory mattersg and in all respects, the effort is to approximate as nearly as possible the experience which the young lawyer will have in his Hrst years at the Bar, whether practicing by himself or as a junior in the office of an older attorney.
