College of Law

INCIDENT to a new period of expansion and growth, the law (acuity regards three events or the past two years as highly significant. The most important of these is the establishment, for the first time in the history of the school, of an Idaha Law Journal published by the College of Law, with an advisory board of members of

the Idaho Bal' assisting. The journal has been highly commended by legal scholars throughout the country and by the lawyers of the state. At its annual meeting held during the summer of 1931, the Idaho State Bar passed the following resolution: "We heartily endorse the law school of the University of Idaho and The Idaho Law Journal as published by this department, and we cannot too strongly urge upon the individual members of the Bar of the state of Idaho that they subscribe to this very instructive journal. It is work that should be continued, but without the support of the lawyers of this state it cannot cover its full field of usefulness, and we further urge upon the lawyers of this state that when requested from time to time to contribute articles to this journal that they give their time and ability to such contributions."

Drastic reorganization of the cWTiculurn to allow a strengthening of important courses has been made, and finally, a third important feature of the school's activity is the fact that several prominent lawyers of the state give lectures at the

school each year. All students have an opportunity to participate in the trial of mock court cases through the Bench and Bar organization of the school.
