Citizenship-Age-Character.

The applicant shall be 21 years of age, and shall file with his petition the certificate of the county court of the county in which he resides, stating that he is a person of honesty, probity, and good demeanor.

Application-When to be Filed.

After receipt of the certificate of the county court, the candidate shall, at least ten days before the beginning of the next regular term, file with the clerk of the circuit court of any county in a circuit court district in which the applicant does not reside, a written application for a license, addressed to the judge and accompanied by the certificate above referred to. Examination-Regulations-Scope-Fee.

The examination is set for some day of the current term. Each applicant is examined by the circuit judge and at least two lawyers in Equity Jurisprudence, Common Law, Constitutional Law, both Federal and State, Criminal Law, Torts, Real Property, Contracts, Pleading, Evidence, Negotiable Instruments, and Public and Private Corporations. If a general average of 75 per cent. is received, the license shall be issued upon the payment of the regular fees to the clerk. This license entitles the holder to practice in all the courts of the state.

Admission of Attorneys from Other Jurisdictions.

Under Acts 1902, p. 45, §§ 1-9, attorneys from other jurisdictions are not admitted without examination on presentation of certificate, as heretofore, but must comply with the same rules as are prescribed for applicants residing in the state. This act, however, does not prevent a nonresident attorney in good standing from appearing and practicing in a case in which he may be employed. Such attorneys may be admitted to prac

tice for the time and purpose of such case by appearing in, and being introduced to, the court. No oath is administered.

Admission in Court of Appeals.

No special license is required to be admitted to practice in the Court of Appeals. It is only necessary that attorneys in good standing, residents of the state, appear in open court and take the oaths prescribed by the Constitution and laws of the commonwealth of Kentucky.

KENTUCKY DECISIONS

1785 to 1917.

A complete set of Kentucky Reports (down to 1917) con

sists of:

Hughes, 1 vol.

Kentucky Decisions (Sneed), 1 vol.

Hardin, 1 vol.

Bibb, 4 vols.

Marshall (A. K.), 3 vols.

Littell, 5 vols.

Littell's Select Cases, 1 vol.

Monroe (T. B.), 7 vols.

Marshall (J. J.), 7 vols.

Dana, 9 vols.

Monroe (Ben.), 18 vols.

Metcalfe, 4 vols.

Duvall, 2 vols.

Bush, 14 vols.

Kentucky, vols. 78 to 171.

These by no means represent all of the Kentucky decisions, however. The Southwestern Reporter, 189 vols., contains, in addition to all of the decisions in Kentucky Reports, vols. 85 to 171, several thousand decisions handed down during the period covered by these reports, which are not published in the State Reports. To have all of the decisions of one's own state is an absolute necessity; hence the general use of the Southwestern Reporter in Kentucky.

In addition to the Kentucky decisions, the set contains all decisions for the last 31 years from Arkansas, Indian Territory, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. The tables of cross-citations furnished with the Southwestern make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report page and volume. The set sells at but a fraction of the cost of the corresponding State Reports. Write us for prices and full information.
