The rules for admission to the bar in this state provide that the applicant shall be a citizen of the United States and a resident of Alabama, of full age and of good moral character.

Who may Apply for License.

Any person satisfying the above requirements, who shall have studied law for 18 months, may make written application to the chancery, circuit, or city court in the county of his residence, and the applicant's qualifications, other than legal, shall be passed upon by the court. If applicant's qualifications, other than legal, are satisfactory, certificate to that effect will be forwarded by the court to the clerk of the Supreme Court, and by him delivered to the chairman of the Board of Examiners..

Examination-Regulations-Scope-Fee.

At the regular meetings of the Board of Examiners, which shall be held at the Capitol on the second Tuesdays in Febru ary and July, all applicants whose names shall have been presented to the chairman as being possessed of all the necessary qualifications except legal learning, and who shall have paid to the clerk of the Supreme Court the fee of $10, may be examined. The examination shall be in writing, and shall consist of questions upon the following subjects: The Law of Real Property, Personal Property, Pleading and Evidence, Commercial Law, Criminal Law, Chancery and Chancery Pleadings, the Statute Law of the State, the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Alabama, the Political History of

the United States and the Formation of Constitutional Governments Therein, and the subject of Professional Ethics: Every examination held shall be substantially different from any examination previously held, so that applicants cannot by the study of any previous examination qualify themselves to pass. Examination papers shall be duly passed upon by the board of examiners, and those which are, in the opinion of the majority of the board, sufficient to entitle the applicant to admission, shall be delivered to the clerk of the Supreme Court, and by him presented to one of the judges of the Supreme Court. License will thereupon be issued to the successful applicant. Those applicants who fail to pass the examination may be permitted to make another application after the expiration of six months upon paying the stipulated fee of $10.

Admission of Attorneys from Other Jurisdictions.

Any attorney removing to this state, who has practiced before the Supreme Court of another state for two years, may be admitted to practice in all the courts of this state upon motion before the Supreme Court, supported by such evidence of his qualifications and legal learning as the court may consider sufficient to entitle him to admission.

Miscellaneous.

Minors may be licensed by fulfilling the above requirements, if deemed by the court of sufficient maturity, character, and attainments.

Attorneys at law residing in other states, having a license to practice law therein, may practice in any of the courts of this state, when by law the attorneys of this state are permitted to practice in such state.

ALABAMA DECISIONS.

1820 to 1909.

A complete set of Alabama Reports (down to 1909) consists of:

Minor, 1 vol.

Stewart, 3 vols.

Stewart & Porter, 5 vols.

Porter, 9 vols.

Alabama, vols. 1 to 151.

We are reprinting the Alabama Reports, vols. 1 to 80 and the 18 preliminary volumes, in a series of 49 books (2 vols. in a book), beginning with vol. 80 and working backward. This Reprint preserves everything (including the paging) in the original Reports. Each case is fully annotated, showing where such case has been subsequently cited by the Alabama Supreme Court, as well as prior and subsequent reports of the same case, and also showing the disposition of each case that has gone to the United States Supreme Court. Annotations to the Century Digest have also been made, showing, in connection with each case, the exact places in the Century Digest where the cognate authorities have been collected and compared, thus bringing together all the law applicable to any particular case. This Reprint will be sold in complete sets only. Books 12 to 49, covering vols. 5 to 80 Alabama, have now been issued. Write for prices and specific information.

Vols. 81 to 94 of the Alabama Reports are out of print, and are very scarce and expensive. The only convenient method of

obtaining the later Alabama decisions is through the Southern Reporter, 48 vols. This set contains all decisions in Alabama, vols. 81 to 151, in addition to a number of Alabama cases which are not reported in the official reports; also all decisions for the last 22 years of Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Tables of cross-citations furnished with the Southern make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report volume and page. The set and continuations are sold at a fraction of the cost of the State Reports covered. In fact, the cost of continuing the Alabama Reports alone is much in excess of the cost of continuing the Southern Reporter. Prices and full information will be furnished on request.
