A few directions are here given under each of the above four heads, and on other matters; but for full particulars the stm ent is referred to the rules, statutes, and forms following, fhese should be carefully perused. If, af t.n- doing so, he is stdl at a loss upon any point, he may obtain the necessaiy lutonnation by application, personally or by letter, to the secretary of he Law Society, Osgoode Hall, Toronto, if the matter be one relating to admission, articles, or otherwise not connected yith the Law School, or to the Principal of the Law School, Osgoode Hall, Toronto, if the matter be one relating to the School. ADMISSION TO THH- LAW SOCIETY. This is the first step towards entering upon the study of Law with a view to practising in the Province. A^^-'^'^ J'^" ^^ obtained only in Easter Term, which begins on the thu.l Monday in May ; and in Trinity Term, which begins on the second Monday in September ; and only by persons of not less than sixteen years of age. , c • i. The necessary qualifications for admission to the Society aie specified in Rules 132 and 135, and in Rule 134 (.), P-sed on June 6th, 1891, hereinafter printed, respecting admission of .n-aduates of the Royal Military College. The mode of obtaining admission, and the fees payable m respect thereof may be learned by reference to Rules 126 to 141 inclusive and the forms therein referred to, A graduate seeking admission should, before the lerm m which he seeks it, deposit with the Sub-Treasurer (the Secretary) of the Society his diploma, or a proper certificate of having received his degree along with his petition for admission, and the proper fees pursuant to Rule 139. To meet the cases of those graduates who may not have been entitled to receive their diplomas in time for presentation be ore E ister Term, provision is made by Rule 133 for presenting their diplomas or certificates to Convocation at its meeting on the last Tuesday in June, and, thereupon, being admitted ; such 3 adiiiissiou to be takou to bo us on the tirst Moiuliiy of Eastor Torm. It will be observed, liowever, that in onlor to tnke advan- tage of that Rule, the gniduuto must liave previously giveu the prescribed notice of his intention to apply for admission. One who has been admitted, and is pursuing the course necessary to qualify him for Call to the Bar, is di'signated a Student-at-Law. One who has l)oen admitted, and is pursuing the course necessary to qualify him for admission as a Solicitor, is designated an Articled Clerk. The propel" blank forms relating to admission may be obtained from the Secretory. SERVICE UNDER ARTICLES OF CLERKSHIP AND ATTENDANCE IN A BARRISTER'S CHAMBERS. As soon after admission as possible, and some time before the last day of the term in which such admission has been obtained, the student who desires to become a Solicitor must enter into •articles of clerkship to a practising solicitor for a period of three years, if he be a graduate, and for a period of live years if he be not a graduate. A student desiring to become a Barrister, and not being an Articled Clerk, must attend in a Barrister's chambers during the like periods respectively. If he is an Articled Clerk, due service as such Avill answei- in lieu of attendance in a Barrister's chambers. In regard to articles of clerkship, and service thereunder, and attendance in a Barrister's chambers, the student is referred to Rules 142, 143, 144, and 158, to form M. of articles of clerk- ship, and form N. of assignment of articles, and also to the Act respecting Solicitors, R. S. O. (LS.ST), cap. 147, particularly sec- tions 3 and 5. Articles and assignments thereof, after being executed, should not be sent to the Secretary of the Society, but must be filed with the Registrar of the Common Pleas Division of the High Court of Justice at Osgoode Hall within three months from the date of their execution in accordance with sub-section 2 of sec- tion 5 of the above Act. Every affidivit of execution of articles or of any assignment tiiereof must state the date of execution of such articles or assign- ment. During any school term which is duly attcntled l»y ft Studont- at-Law or Aiticled Clerk, he is not icquiiod to attend in cham- bers, or actually serve under articles ; but the articles of every clerk should nevertheless cover the full ixiiod of three or five years as the case may be. ATTENDANCE AT TIFE LAW SCHOOL. This school was established on its j)re.sent basis by the Law Society of Upper Canada in It^BO, under the provisions of rules passed by the Society in the exercise of its statutory powers. Jt is coiulucted under the immediate supervision of the Legal Education Committee of the Society, subject to the control of the Benchers of the Society in Convocation assembled. Its purpose is to secure as far as possible the possession of a thorough legal education by all those who enter upon the practice of the legal profession in the Province. To this end, with certain exceptions in the cases of students who liad begun their studies prior to its establishment, attendance at the school, in some cases during two, and in others during three terms or sessions is made compidsory upon all who desire to be admitted to the practice of the L^w. The course in the school is a three years course. The term or session commences on the fourth Monday in September, and ends on the first Monday in May, with a vacation commencing on the Saturday before Christmas and ending on the Saturday after New Year's day. Admission to the Law Society is ordinarily a condition prece- dent to attendance at the Law School. Every Student-at-Law and Articled Clerk before being allowed to enter the School must present to the Principal a certificate of the Secretary of the Law Society, shewing that he has been duly admitted upon the b >oks of the Society and that he has paid the prescribed fee for the term. Student s, however, residing elsewhere, and desirous of at- tending the lectures of the School, but not of qualifying them- selves to practise in Ontario, are allowed upon payment of the usual fee to attend the lectures without admission to the Law Society. Tlie students and clerks who are exempt from attendance at tlie Law School are the following : I i • 1. Allstii.leiiUaiulol('rksi»ttt!iuliiigina liirristerV; chiunbnrs, or servin" under article.s cIsowIkhp than in Toronto, aiitl who wore admitted prior to Hilary 'IVniii, 1«8C, so long as tlioy vamx- f inuo so to attend or servo elsewliertf than iu Toronto. 2. All graduates who on .June 25th, 1881), had entered upon the second year of th(;ir course as Studeuts-atLaw or Artichjd Clerks. 3. All non-graduates who at that date had entered upon the fourth year of their course as Studeuts-at Law or Articled attondanop of students carefully noted, and a record thereof kept. At the close of cucli term tlu> I'rinciinil certifies to the Lo-'al Kducation Conmiittee the names of those students who appear by the record to liave d\ily attended tlni lectures of that term. No student is to be certified ns havinp[didy attended the lectures, ntdess ho has attended at lenst live-sixths of the a,i,'<,'ref,'ate num i)er of lectures, and at least four-Hfths of the numhcM' of lectures of ench s(;rips, delivered durinj,' the term and jiertainin^' to his year. If any student who has failed to attend the required number of lectures satisties the Principal that such failure hits been due to illness or other ,i,'ood cause, the PriiuMpal makes a special report upon the matter to the Lot,'al Education (Committee. The woi-d '• lectures " in this connection includes moot courts. Two lectures (one hour) daily in each year of the course are d(divered on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The moot courts take tiie place of lectures on Friday. I'rinted sched- ules shewing the days and hours of all the lectures in the differ- ent subjects will be distributed amouf; the students at the com- mencement of the term. During his attendance; in the School, the student is recom- mended and encouraged to devote the tinu' not occupied in at- tendance upon lectures, recitations, discussions or moot courts, in the reading and study of the books and suljjects jnescribed for or dealt with in the course upon whicli he is in attendance. As far as practicable^ students will Imj providetl with room and the use of books for this purpose. The fee for attendance for ^;ach term of the course is $25 payable in advance "to the Sub-Treasurer, who is also the Secre. tary of the Law Society. The Rules which shotdd be read for information in regard to attendance at the Law School are Rules l^^i to 1G7 both inclu- .sive. I • » ^ EXAMINATIONS.
