Admission of Students to the Law Society of Upper Canada takes place twice a year, namely, in Easter Term, which commences on the third Monday in May, and in Trinity Term, which commences on the second Monday in September. * The applicant for admission must be either : (1) A graduate in the Faculty of Arts in any University in Her Majesty's Dominions empowered to grant such degree. (2) A graduate of the Royal Military College, Kingston. Inlboth of which cases he may be admitted as a student of th^ Graduate Class and is bound to serve for three years. (3)i A student of any University in the Province of Ontario who shall present a certificate of having passed within four years of his application, an examination in the subjects specified in Schedule A. (Appendix.) 4 (4) A cadet of the Royal Military College, Kingston, who, in entering that College has passed in hoth the Obli- gatory and Voluntary examinations held for entrance, and who has also taken the course in the College for one year and passed the examination at the end of the year. In both of which latter cases, he is entered as a student of the Matriculant Class and is bound to servo for five years. The applicant should at least four weeks before either of the Terms of the Society above mentioned, cause to be left with the Secretary of the Law Society at his office at Osgoode Ball, a notice signed by a Bencher of the Society, stating his intention to enter. A fee of one dollar must be paid with this notice. This notice should be given, although the applicant has not at the time passed the qualifying examination. The blank form of notice and all other forms may be obtained beforehand from the Sec- retary upon application to him. If the results of the qualifying examination are to be announced in May or June, notice should be given for Easter Term. If they are to be announced in July or August, notice should be given for Trinity Term. When the result is not to be announced until after Trinity Term, for instance in October, notice for Trinity Term should, nevertheless, be given, and upon special application the matter will be disposed of at the meeting of the Benchers in the November or Michaelmas Term, when, if admission is allowed, the student will be considered as being admitted as of Trinity Term. The Benchers of the Society, how- ever, reserve a discretion in dealing with such cases, and all students who take this course, must send in to the Secretary before Trinity Term arrives, a special petition, praying that they may be admitted as of Trinity Term upon proof of their having passed the requisite examina- tion. As soon as the applicant hns licard the result of his examination, and is able to get his certiHcatc or diploma, he should sign and send to the Secretarj^ a petition for admission, and a notice signed by a Barrister, on forms •which can bo obtained beforehand from the Secretar}'. V ARTICLES OF CLERKSHIP. Every applicant should article himself to a solicitor on forms which will be supplied by the Secretary, and if these articles are entered into some day prior to the first day of the Term in which the student is entered, his ser- vice will date from such first day of term. Students are informed that their time does not begin to run until they are articled. The articles of clerkship should be filed within three months after date with the Registrar of the Common Pleas Division at Osgoode Hall. Students are advised to file them without delay. If not filed within the above period the time of service will only count from the date •of filing, unless otherwise ordered upon special application to Convocation. The same rule applies to any assignment of the articles which may be made during the period of service. Any student who has not completed his application for admission, but who desires in anticipation of his being duly admitted, to attend the Law School in the meantime, may, on satisfying the Secretary that he is duly articled, pay his fees for Law School tuition and attend the lec- tures forthwith. ADMISSION OF WOMEN. Pursuant to the provisions of the Act of the Legislature, 55 Vict. ch. 32 (Ont.), women may be admitted to practise as solicitors, upon compliance with the Rules framed by the Society, which took eflfect upon the last day of Hilary Term, 1893. \ ATTENDANCE AT THE LAW SCHOOL This School was established on its present basis by the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1889, under the provisions of rules passed by the Society in the exercise of its statutory- powers. It is conducted under the immediate supervision of the Legal Education Committee of the Society, subject to the control of the Benchers of the Society in Convoca- tion assembled. Its purpose is to secure as far as possible the | ossession 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 had 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 compulsory upon all who desire to be admitted to the practice of the Law. The course in the School is a three years' course. The term or session commences on the fourth Monday in Sep- tember, and ends on the first Monday in May, with a vaca- tion 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 precedent 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 books of the Society and that he has paid the prescribed fee for the term. Students, however, residing elsewhere, and desirous of attending the lectures of the School, but not of qualifying themselves to practise in Ontario, are allowed upon pay- ment of the usual fee to attend the lectures without admis- sion to the Law Society. Attendance at the School is compulsory on all students and clerks except in a few special instances provided for by the Rules. jy the visions tutory [•vision jubject ivoca- ifif The student is required to pass tliree examinations in the Law School at Osgoode Hall on the subjects preycribed by the Law School Curriculum as set out in Appendix (B.).
