College of Law
GENERAL INFORMATION
THE COLLEGE OF LAW, founded in 1909, began its work in the Thomas Hall
Dormitory for men under the deanship of Albert J. Farrah, a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Michigan, who served from 1909 until 1912.
Following the administration of Dean Farrah, Thomas W. Hughes served as
Dean from 1912 until 1915. The Law Building, erected in 1914, was one of the first
permanent units on the campus.
Harry R. Trusler, also a graduate of the University of Michigan, was appointed
to the deanship in 1915 and served in that capacity until 1947. During his administra-
tion the College of Law was accredited by the New York State Board of Regents in
1917, admitted to membership in the Association of American Law Schools in 1920,
and recognized as an approved school by the American Bar Association in 1925.
The College of Law was opened to women students in 1925, and in 1933 the
requirements for admission were increased to require an academic degree.
In September of 1941, the entire plant of the College of Law was dedicated and
named in the memory of Nathan Philemon Bryan, Chairman of the Board of Con-
trol at the time of the founding of the College of Law, and former United States
Senator and United States Circuit Judge. Also in 1941 the Law Library was built.
In 1950, a courtroom-auditorium wing was added with a seating capacity of approxi-
mately two hundred and fifty, and a suite of offices for the University of Florida Law
Review.
Henry A. Fenn, a former Professor of Law and Assistant Dean of the Yale Law
School, became Dean in 1948 and served in that capacity until 1958. During his dean-
ship a specialized orientation program, and an individualized program of research,
writing and instruction were inaugurated, as well as a seminar program in Legal
Ethics which received national recognition. In 1955, the College was granted a charter
by the Order of the Coif, a national legal scholarship society, in recognition of its high
academic standards.
Dean Fenn stepped down as head in the fall of 1958 to devote full time to teach-
ing. Frank E. Maloney, who at that time was named acting dean, was subsequently
appointed as dean in May of 1959.
The goal of the college is to impart a thorough, scientific and practical knowledge
of the law, together with an understanding of its role in a democratic society. It aims
to develop keen, efficient lawyers who will respect the ideals and traditions of the pro-
fession. The policy of the college places emphasis upon practical skills as well as legal
theory; problems of the modern world as well as historical perspective; the creative
aspects in the drafting of documents as well as in the body of legal doctrines.
FACULTY GRANTS
Nothing is more important for the maintenance of a law school than a faculty
composed of capable, experienced and industrious scholars, and a program of salary
supplementation is a factor of considerable significance in retaining men of eminence.
Lawyers' Title Guaranty Fund Grant.-The Lawyers' Title Guaranty Fund, a
business trust of Florida lawyers, closely affiliated with The Florida Bar, has estab-
lished an annual grant of $1,000 to supplement the salary of a distinguished professor
in the field of real property. The first incumbent is Professor James W. Day.
PREPARATION FOR THE STUDY OF LAW
A lawyer's education may be divided into his pre-legal training, his law school
career, and his post legal education. Pre-legal training involving a set undergraduate
program has deliberately not been prescribed by the College of Law. The faculty feels
that in view of the diverse nature of the lawyer's tasks, the best program is similarly
one of broad diversification in which the student gains a knowledge of the formative
processes of our civilization, the nature of men and their institutions, and something
of the technology of our age; the capacity for understanding, independent and chal-
lenging thinking; and, finally, the ability to clearly and forcefully express himself
in the English language.
Since concepts expressed in words are the primary tools of the legal profession,
it cannot be emphasized too strongly that the beginning law student must bring into
legal education the fundamental skills necessary for effective oral and written com-
munication.
ADMISSIONS
Students without previous law school study are admitted at the beginning of the first
and second semesters, but are not admitted to the summer sessions.
PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION
Applicants for admission to the College of Law are required to file a preliminary
application with the University Registrar on or before August 1 for the first semester,
December 30, for the second semester. It will be impossible to consider applications
received after these dates.
Upon receipt of the preliminary application, the Registrar will furnish final ap-
plication forms. No applicant will be admitted until he has filed a complete transcript
of his record from each law school, college or university attended (other than the Uni-
versity of Florida), and his Law School Admission Test score has been received from
the Educational Testing Service. A written statement must also be filed concerning
previous attendance at other law schools and, if the applicant has attended another
law school, a certificate from the Dean thereof that he is in good standing at that in-
stitution.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
Beginning Students: All applicants for admission to the College of Law must
have received a 4-year baccalaureate degree from a college or university of approved
standing. Requests for admission to the College in a semester prior to the fall semester
of 1961 will be governed by existing entrance requirements under which an applicant
must have achieved a minimum score of 340 on the Law School Admission Test (or a
minimum of 375 if the Test is retaken).
Beginning in September, 1961, the precise score required on the Law School
Admission Test will be determined on the basis of the overall undergraduate collegiate
average of the applicant (compiled on the basis of all work undertaken and computed
by the system in effect at the University of Florida where the grade of A equals 4
grade points per semester hour; B equals 3 grade points per semester hour; C equals
2 grade points per semester hour; D equals 1 grade point per semester hour). The
higher the overall undergraduate average of the applicant, the lower will be the test
score required to qualify for admission; provided, however, that no test score of less than
340 will be deemed sufficient to warrant admission regardless of the overall undergrad-
uate collegiate grade average. An appropriate upward adjustment in the test score will
be made in cases where the score submitted is the result of retaking the test.
The foregoing revision of the admission standards of the College has been made
in conformance with the policy of the Association of American Law Schools that "a
sound educational program is advanced by limiting admissions to students whose
previous college records, aptitude tests, and other relevant information indicate a rea-
sonable prospect for success in law studies." It was adopted pursuant to the findings
of a study of achievement of students in the College recently completed by the faculty
with statistical assistance from the Board of University Examiners.
Law School Admission Test: The Law School Admission Test is given by the
Educational Testing Service in cooperation with leading law schools throughout the
country and may be taken prior to filing application for admission to law school. A
fee of $10.00 is charged by the Educational Testing Service and applications to take
the test must be sent direct to the Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street,
Princeton, New Jersey. The Test Score will be used to determine eligibility for admis-
sion and to aid in counseling the applicant when he becomes a student. Tests are
normally given in February, April, August and November, and are scheduled at the
University of Florida and other centers throughout the United States and foreign
countries. Requests for the form of application to take the test should be sent to the
Educational Testing Service four or five weeks in advance of the date of testing so
that the completed application and fee will be received in Princeton no later than ten
days prior to the testing date which the candidate has chosen.
Advanced Standing: A student wishing to transfer from another accredited law
school, who at the time of beginning his study of law, qualified for admission to this
College under the above stated requirements for beginning students, and who has
maintained a scholastic average of C or higher on all previous law school work under-
taken, may apply for admission with advanced standing. Courses completed with a
grade of C or higher in other accredited law schools will be acceptable for credit
up to but not exceeding a total of thirty hours. Such courses will be accepted for credit
toward the course hour requirement for graduation, but the class standing and gradu-
ation average of a transfer student will be determined solely on the basis of work
undertaken at the College of Law of the University of Florida. Eligibility of a transfer
student for graduation with honors or high honors will be determined by the faculty
on the basis of the complete record of the student after all credits necessary for gradu-
ation from the College have been received.
In no case will credit be given for correspondence courses or other work not done
in residence at an accredited law school.
In no case will a person who has received a law degree from an accredited law
school be admitted as a candidate for the LL.B. degree.
INTRODUCTORY PROGRAM
FOR BEGINNING STUDENTS
A program designed to acquaint beginning students with basic information con-
cerning the profession to which they aspire and to assist them in the study of law is
offered by members of the law faculty, the bench and the bar during the week preceding
the opening of classes. The program introduces students to the traditions, ethics, and
activities of the legal profession and to the objectives, materials, and methods of law
study. Assigned readings are supplemented by lectures, illustrative demonstrations, and
practice sessions.
Beginning students are required to report for registration and the Introductory
Program in accordance with instructions given to them at the time they are admitted.
Failure to report in accordance with such instructions may prevent registration.
FEES AND EXPENSES
Although expenses vary considerably with individual students, an unmarried
Florida student attending the College of Law should anticipate expenses of at least
$565.00 per semester estimated as follows: Registration Fee $90.00; books and sup-
plies $50.00; laundry and cleaning $35.00; room $90.00; board $200.00; incidental
expenses $100.00. Non-Florida students are charged a registration fee of $250.00 per
semester instead of the $90.00 fee charged Florida students. (Consult the University
Catalog for details as to the classification of students as Florida or non-Florida students.)
Late registration increases the registration fee $5.00; this increased fee will not be
waived for any reason.
A graduation fee of $10.00 to cover the cost of the candidate's diploma and rental
of cap and gown, is payable at the time of the filing of the candidate's application for
graduation.
Consult the University Catalog for the time and place of the payment of fees
and expenses.
HOUSING
All communications or inquiries concerning housing, applications, deposit fees,
and rent payments in University Housing facilities should be sent to the Director of
Housing, University of Florida, Gainesville. A student may make his own arrange-
ments directly with the property-owner for off-campus accommodations in private
housing.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Student Employment.-Standard VIII-1 of the Articles of Association of the
Association of American Law Schools defines a full-time law school as one "whose
curriculum and schedule of work are so arranged as to require substantially the full
working time of its students." This standard contemplates that the level of academic
achievement required of candidates for degrees in full-time schools should be high
enough that the student of reasonable ability must devote substantially his full work-
ing time to the study of law. The faculty of the College of Law strongly recommends
that students refrain from taking part-time employment during the first two semesters
of study except in cases of absolute necessity, and that advanced students keep the
above Standard in mind when considering part-time employment.
Scholarships.-The following scholarship funds are available for law students
(forms of application for these scholarships can be obtained from the Chairman of the
Scholarships and Awards Committee, College of Law):
Neil Beckley Memorial Award.-Phi Delta Theta fraternity, in memory of Neil
Beckley, a former law student, provides the sum of $75.00 to be awarded in the fall

man law class. Applications are considered on the basis of their undergraduate scholastic
and extra-curricula records, and their aptitude for legal study as evidenced by per-
formance on the Law School Admission Test.
Trial Court Scholarships.-The firm of Nichols, Gaither, Green, Frates and
Beckham of Miami provides the sum of $350.00 annually for one or more scholarships

be made available to law students.
SUMMER SESSIONS

session. Detailed information as to dates and courses is given in the Bulletin of the Sum-
mer Session which is usually published in April.
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES
All degrees are conferred by the Board of Control at regular commencement ex-
ercises. All candidates for degrees are required to be present at commencement exercises
(Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement Convocation). A student who fails to
attend without being excused by the University will not have his degree conferred until
he makes another application and complies with this requirement.
The faculty of the College of Law will recommend for the degree of Bachelor of
Laws (LL.B.) candidates who have complied with the following requirements:
1. Completion with a passing grade of courses totalling at least 85 credits,
of which at least 55 must have been completed in this College.

3. Fulfillment of course requirements as set forth hereafter under "Cur-
riculum and Grades."

date must have maintained an honor point average of 3.0 on all work attempted, and
to be eligible for consideration for the degree of Bachelor of Laws With High Honors
the candidate must have maintained an honor point average of 3.5 on all work at-
tempted.
STANDARDS OF THE AMERICAN
BAR ASSOCIATION
The Council on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar
Association requests that attention be called to the Standards of the American Bar
Association adopted in 1921 and by it recommended for enactment by all states. These
Standards as amended provide in effect that every candidate for admission to the bar,
in addition to taking a public examination, shall give evidence of graduation from a
law school which shall require at least three years of acceptable college work as a con-
dition of admission, and three years of law study (or longer if not full-time course),
which shall have an adequate library and a sufficient number of teachers giving their
entire time to the school to ensure actual personal acquaintance and influence with the
whole student body, and which shall not be operated as a commercial enterprise.
LIBRARY
The Law Library contains over 55,000 volumes and adds about 2,500 volumes
a year. Its statutory material includes Federal statutes, statutes from all American
states, and some foreign statutes. Its collection of published court reports includes
those of the U. S. Supreme Court, the courts of last resort in all American states, se-
lected state lower court reports, complete British reports, and many Canadian and
other foreign reports. It subscribes to all leading American legal periodicals and to
selected foreign ones. It has numerous American and British legal encyclopedias, digests,
texts, treatises, and other legal materials. In addition to the collection in the law library,
the University Library, located in an adjoining building, contains an additional col-
lection of over 10,000 volumes of law books relating to specialized legal fields.
ORDER OF COIF
The College of Law has a chapter of The Order of the Coif, a legal scholarship
society with chapters at the leading law schools of the country. The purpose of Coif
is to foster a spirit of careful study and to mark in a suitable manner those who have
attained a high level of scholarship. Election to the society is based on scholarship
and character. To be eligible for consideration, a student must be in the upper ten
per cent of his graduating class and be eligible for graduation with Honors.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LAW REVIEW
The University of Florida Law Review is published quarterly by the student Edi-
torial Board assisted by the faculty advisors. Approximately half of the publication is
written by the students, and the remainder, written by specialists in various fields, is
selected and edited by the Editorial Board. Emphasis as to subject-matter is on Florida
and federal law. The work furnishes intensive training in research, organization, analysis
and style. Members of the Editorial Board are elected on the basis of scholarship and
past performance of law review work. After the third semester, hour credit towards
graduation can be obtained for work satisfactory to the faculty advisors, but no letter
grades are given for this work.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Legal Research and Writing Requirements: LW 591, Introduction to Legal Re-
search and Writing, is required to be completed satisfactorily by all students in their
third semester.
In addition, each student is required to accomplish a major finished piece of
writing as a result of individual research. This advanced writing requirement may be
satisfied by either of the following methods:
1. The writing of a paper in a seminar or course in which the student's
major contribution is the production of a finished piece of writing as the
result of his individual research, or
2. A Law Review note prepared for publication and approved by a faculty
Law Review advisor as being of publishable quality.
No more than fifteen students will be permitted in any particular seminar except
upon approval of the Dean and the professor of the course. Any course of not over twenty
students can be counted for advanced writing credit, if a writing of seminar quality is
accomplished either as required work or as voluntary additional work. The effect of
this advanced writing program is to require every student as a condition to graduation
to complete one difficult research project.
Legal Ethics Requirement.-All students are required to satisfactorily complete
LW 599, Legal Ethics, in their senior year. One hour of course credit toward graduation
is allowed for successful completion of the course, but letter grades are not given.
Deviations, Prerequisites, and Course Cancellation.-In exceptional cases the Dean
may authorize deviations from the prescribed program of study.
Prerequisites for particular courses may be prescribed and the privilege is reserved
by each member of the faculty to limit the number and prescribe special qualifications
for students in his courses and seminars.
The privilege is reserved to cancel any course or seminar when the registration
for it does not warrant its being given in a particular semester.
Transition from Former Curriculum (Course Requirements) to New Curriculum
(Group Requirements):-
1. Students who, as of September, 1960, will be properly classified as third
year students, i.e., who normally would graduate in February or June of
1961, will be offered the opportunity to elect to graduate under the
previously prescribed curriculum as set forth in the catalog issue of the
1959-60 University of Florida Record, or to graduate under the new
curriculum (with the exception of newly required first year courses).
All such students must take LW 606, United States and Florida Constitu-
tional Law, regardless of which curriculum they elect.
2. All other students will be deemed to be under the new curriculum and
subject to all of its requirements; with the additional requirement as to
students who entered the College in September of 1959 that they take
LW 639, Acquisition of Real Property, and LW 522, Civil Procedure, at
their earliest opportunity. In addition, all students who have not taken
Constitutional Law as a freshman course, must take LW 606, United States
and Florida Constitutional Law, no later than the fall semester of 1960.

4. Former courses of the same name as new courses will be accepted in ful-
fillment of group requirements, if currently in a required group, to the
extent of the credit hours allotted for the former course.
Examinations.-In first semester courses mid-semester examinations are given pri-
marily for the purpose of acquainting students with law school examinations. Examina-
tions are given at the end of each semester in most courses; in seminars and other
advanced courses individual written work may be required in lieu of an examination.
Grading Scale.-Grades are given at the end of each Semester in all work, unless
otherwise indicated in this bulletin. Students' work is graded according to the following
scale: A-excellent; B-Good; C-satisfactory; D-poor and E-failure. No numerical grades
are given. Grades of I (incomplete) and X (absent from Examination) are temporary
grades, which must be changed to passing grades within the dates set in the University
Calendar or be treated as grades of E in considering a student's record for graduation
or in calculating averages. The grade of Ew is given when a student is dropped for
non-attendance or unsatisfactory work.
Determination of Honor Point Average.-The honor point average is determined
by computing the ratio of honor points to semester hours of work attempted in courses
in which letter grades are assigned. The student receives honor points according to the
following scale: A equals 4 honor points per semester hour; B equals 3 honor points
per semester hour; C equals 2 honor points per semester hour; D equals 1 honor point
per semester hour; E (failure), or Ew (dropped for non-attendance or unsatisfactory
work), or I (incomplete), or X (absent from examination) equals 0 honor point per
semester hour.
Probation and Exclusion Rules.-The following probation and exclusion rules are
applicable to all students attending the College of Law:
A student who fails to maintain a 1.8 honor point average for all work attempted
in any semester will be placed on probation for the next semester in which he is in
attendance. A student on probation will be excluded at the end of the semester unless
he maintains a 2.0 honor point average in all work attempted in that semester, or has
a 2.0 cumulative honor point average in the total of all work attempted in the College.
A student excluded under this rule will not be readmitted except by special action of
the faculty of the College of Law.
Grades of I and X will be considered as grades of E for the purpose of computing
the honor point average under this provision until such time as they are changed to
passing grades, at which time the honor point average will be recomputed on the basis
of the permanent grades and the student restored to good standing, continued on
probation, or immediately excluded as the application of the foregoing provision may
require.
For the purpose of this provision a semester means either (1) the regular fall
semester, or (2) the regular spring semester, or (3) if summer session is attended, such
session and the following regular semester attended, as a unit.
