ILLINOIS DECISIONS

1819 to 1917.

A complete set of Illinois Reports (down to 1917) consists of 274 vols. All decisions from and including vol. 114 are reported in the Northeastern Reporter, 113 vols. together with all decisions for the last 32 years from Indiana, Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio. The set is sold for a small part of the

cost of the corresponding State Reports. Tables of crosscitations make the cases perfectly available, however cited.

The Northeastern Reporter, containing, as it does, all the current decisions of the states in which the great commercial centers of the country are located, is considered the best set of reports on commercial law and kindred topics extant.

The Illinois Appellate Court Reports, of which there are now 197 vols. (1877-1917), cover the decisions of inferior courts of appellate jurisdiction and are published in Illinois. We will furnish full information and prices on request.

Citizenship-Age-Character.

Every voter of the state, of good moral character, shall be entitled to practice.

Examination-Regulations-Scope.

Owing to the constitutional provision, the court is limited in its power to regulate admissions. The examinations are usually oral and of brief duration. No examination as to legal attainments can be made over the objection of the applicant.

Admission of Attorneys from Other Jurisdictions.

The court shall permit attorneys from other states to practice in this state during the continuance of the term in which application was made, upon taking the prescribed oath.

Miscellaneous.

The Supreme Court has decided (134 Ind. 665, 34 N. E. 641) that the provisions of the Constitution which declare that persons of good moral character, being voters, shall be admitted to practice law, do not prohibit the admission of women to practice.
