HAIGHT'S

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

FOR

BAR EXAMINATION REVIEW.

A new and thoroughly up-to-date book for the use of Law Students in all the States in preparing for Bar or

Law School Examinations.

BY

CHARLES S. HAIGHT, of the New York Bar,

AND

ARTHUR M. MARSH, of the Connecticut Bar.

In this work the authors, it is believed, have met the needs of law students in a more thorough and satisfactory way than has ever been done before.

A radical change has also been made in the form of questions asked, and the present book is the only one of the kind which requires the application of legal principles to a statement of facts given in the question. The work thus meets the requirements of students, in view of the marked change, in this respect, in the nature of the questions now asked by bar examiners.

The book covers all the subjects embraced in a full law course, and may also be used to advantage by lawyers as a book for speedy reference, and will be especially useful to those who have but limited use of a library. As far as such a thing is possible, it is a pocket encyclopædia of legal principles and leading cases.

From HON. WILLIAM K. TOWNSEND, Judge of the U. S. District Court, Conn., and Professor of Law in Yale Law School-"I have critically examined the copy of 'Haight's Questions and Answers' which you were good enough to send me. It is the best book of the sort I have ever found. I have been much interested to see how many questions and cases which I am in the habit of discussing with my students in the classroom at the Yale Law School, are here succinctly presented. The book is unique in that it does not enable the student to cram answers, but does oblige him to supply principles. It is so directly in line with my law school work here that I shall hope hereafter to make use of it in the classroom."

From PROFESSOR JOHN J. TOBIAS, of the Chicago Law School-"I have carefully examined the copy of Haight's Quiz Book,' which I have received. It is timely so far as work is concerned in my preparation for written examinations. It is just the work I have been looking for, inasmuch as I can give on each subject some of your hypothetical cases, and thus aid in training the students for the bar examination. I shall take pleasure also in referring the text to my senior and post-graduate students when they are preparing for the bar examination."

From JOHN M. HARRIS, Chairman of the Board of Examiners for Admission to the Bar, Scranton, Pa.-"I do not hesitate to pronounce it the best work for the purposes intended that has appeared. It is as valuable to the lawyer as a book of reference to the fundamental principles of the law as it is to the student preparing for Bar Examinations. I shall call the attention of our students to its merits."

HAIGHT'S QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS is an octavo volume of 552 pages, handsomely bound in law canvas. Price $3.75 Net, but delivered to any address on receipt of the price.
