QV Amussioxs
The applicant for admission to the law school must have, in addi-
tion to the standa1·d high school course that will satisfy the general
requirements for admission to the University, two years of college
credit (sixty semester hours exclusive of gymnasium and military
science). .
Pun·L.xw Woiut
In order to meet the two years of college credit required for en-
trance, no special course is prescribed except six college credits in
English. The credits obtained in the two years of college work that .
are required must be sufficient to entitle the holder to admission to _
` the junior class in the College of Arts and Sciences of the University
of Kentucky. The pre-law work must be taken at the University of
Kentucky or at any standard university or junior college. Students
who expect to study law are advised to lay special emphasis on courses
in English, history, economics, public speaking, political science and
psychology. Those who would like special advice concerning their
work are invited to communicate with the dean.
Coumxnn Cocrtsic Lnxnriys TO Dncnnm or A. B. AND LL. B.
Inasmuch as the requirements of the law school now call for a
total of five years in college and law school before the degree of LL. B.
can be obtained, the attention of the student is particularly called to
the fact that with the addition of a single year, making six years in
all, he can obtain the degree of Bachelor of Arts and also the degree
· of Bachelor of Laws. This combined course is open to all who enter
the University of Kentucky in the junior class or earlier. The first
year’s work in law is credited towards the academic degree of A. B.
as well as towards the law degree of LL. B. In his senior year, the
student will take the first year’s work in law and will thus obtain thc
A. B. degree, and upon completing the two remaining years in law,
‘ he will be granted the degree of LL. B., thus obtaining both degrees in
six years. All students are urged to take advantage of this course.

The degree of Bachelor of Laws is awarded to the student who suc- ·
cessfully completes all the required subjects, makes a total credit of
76 semester hours, and has a standing of 1 as deiined in this catalog,
i. c., an average grade of C. This requires an attendan_ce of three aca-
demic years spent in law study and the completion of a course that em-
braces all the fundamental branches of the common law.
