SCHOOL or LAW THE SCHOOL OF LAW OF THE UNIVERSITY OF Miami, organized at the founding of the university in 1926, was the first professional course offered at the university. Under the able leadership of Dean R. A. Kasco, its growth has been steady and consistent. By dispensation of the Florida Supreme Court, at the June, 1927 term, graduates of the Law School are admitted to practice in the State courts upon presenation of their diplomas. The course of study is the standard course of three years, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws. The method used in all classes is the case system. Regular students in the law school, in addition to a standard high school course, which will satisfy the general requirements for admission to the University, must have sixty semester college credits before entering the School of Law. A limited number of special students who are unable to satisfy the entrance requirements are admitted to the School of Law. Credits earned in the Law School, are accepted by all standard law schools throughout the country. The aim of the School of Law is to train the student in the fundamental principles of English and American Law so that he may successfully practice his profession wherever that system of law prevails. Special emphasis is placed on Florida Supreme Court decisions. The ideal held before the students is the lawyer of stable character who is honored not only as a successful practitioner, but as a man of high ideals and a useful citizen. f, 9)
