No. 1 Oregon Law School Journal Published Bimonthly by THE OREGON LAW SCHOOL 239 COMMERCIAL STREET, SALEM, OREGON Sube-ription price fifty cents per annum. Editor-in-chief-------------S. T. RICHARDSON Dean of The Oregon Law School. ANNOUNCEMENT. The founders of the Oregon Law School purpose maintaining a law school of sound legal learning adapted to the actual wants of the lawyer and business man, shorn as far as possible of peda- gogical theories and non-essentials. They consider that if the student be well. grounded in the elementary principles of law and practice, that he is best prepared for the pursuit of his profession or the successfil management of a business. That if in after life he should find idle time and his fancies should induce him to explore some of the many and endless theories and metaphysical disquisitions,, he may do so, readily, and without the expense of an instructor and his then broadened and practical mind will not confuse the fanciful with the real. Dean S. T. Richardson has been en- gaged in law school work for fifteen years and brings with him methods of instruc- tion which have been practically tested.

Case System.-The founders believe in the frequent examination of leading cases, yet do not believe in being slaves to the Case System. Some parts of all subjects are taught by means of lectures, yet on nearly all subjects text-books are used. Good text-books being regarded more reliable and more comprehensive than the lectures of a law professor or other lecturer which have been more hastily prepared, and, in many instances,
