Legal Ethics, as a separate study, will be formally introduced into the Law School next year with the inauguration of a lecture course on the "History and Standards of Legal Practice" to be given by Roacoe Pound, Dean of the Law School. The series of lectures is intended for first year men and is the first course of its kind ever offered in the Law School.
The course in expected to parallel that now being offered by the Business School in Business Ethics, and will consist of 36 lectures throughout the year. It will not be counted for credit towards the degree of LL.D.; Dean Pound declined to make a statement when questioned as to whether or not the course would be made compulsory for first-year students.
The most important change in the Law School curriculum for next year is the reduction of the number of options open to second-year students. At present, second-year men may chose six courses from a group of nine, but beginning next year, Insurance and Persons will be open only to third year men, leaving seven courses, from which second year students must choose six. There have been no options open to first year men since 1928.
The Law School catalogue for 1932-33, containing the full details of next year's curriculum, will be published within a week, it was announced.
