This course, having l een approved by the Supreme Court of Florida, admits graduate students to practice anywhere in the State upon presentation of diplomas, thus eliminating oiiANRAsco the necessity of bar examinations. II Law students are afforded excellent opportunities for the acquisition of knowledge of practice as well as a broad legal training by attending the sessions of the Miami Courts, which include federal and state courts of all jurisdiction except the Supreme Court.
