154 COLLEGE OF LAW candidates for graduation at any time by meeting the requirements of the College. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION The methods of instruction used in this College are based upon the study of cases. Text-books are used to some extent, and lectures are occasionally resorted to, but the study of the case is regarded as the chief means to the attainment of legal knowledge and proficiency. LIBRARY AND MOOT COURT The library consists of the leading text-books on all subjects : Supreme and Appellate Court Reports of Illinois; United States Supreme Court Reports; New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana Reports; American Decisions, American Reports, and American State Reports; the current volumes of the West Company Reporter System, and the leading legal periodicals. Additions of reports and text-books will be made during the coming year. The Moot Court is held once a week for the purpose of familiarizing the student with legal procedure. It is presided over by Judge Harker, the other officers being elected by the law students from their own body. All second and third year students are required to be present and to perform such duties as may be assigned them. LEGAL STUDY AND UNIVERSITY WORK The Council of Administration will, upon application, in proper cases, apply credits earned in the College of Law upon other University courses. Students matriculating in the College of Law may take any of the following courses in the College of Literature and Arts, subject to the approval of the Dean of the College of Law and of the Dean of the College of Literature and Arts: public law and administration; economics and social science, and history. By special arrangement other work in the College of Literature and Arts may also be taken.
