BOSTON COLLEGE

UNIVERSITY HISTORY

Boston College is one of the twenty-five colleges and universities

in the United States conducted by the Society of Jesus. The Boston College Law School is one of the thirteen American law schools con­ducted under the same auspices::· The university traditions of Boston

College are the product of four centuries of educational idealism and practical experience of the Society of Jesus which, since its foundation in 15 34 by Ignatius Loyola, has established and conducted institutions of higher learning in all parts of the world.

Boston College owes its inception to the foresight and energy of the scholarly John McElroy, S.J., Superior of the first Jesuit com­munity in New England. This community, still located at old Saint Mary's in Boston, was founded in 1849. In 1857, in accordance with the Society's traditional devotion to higher education, Father McElroy secured land and erected a group of collegiate buildings on Harrison

Avenue in Boston, the present site of the Boston College High School.

He was assisted in this undertaking by a group of civic leaders headed by the Honorable Alexander H. Rice, then Mayor of Boston and later Governor of the Commonwealth. The formal opening of the College

was delayed by the Civil War, and for a time the buildings were used as a House of Studies of the Society of Jesus.

Boston College was fornully incorporated by an act of the Massa­

chusetts Legislature approved by Governor John A. Andrew, April 1, 1863. The charter authorized the conferring of all degrees usually conferred by universities in the Commonwealth, except medical de­

grees. This single restriction upon its university charter was removed by legislative amendment, April 1, 1908. Formal instruction was com­menced on September 5, 1864, under the presidency of John Bapst, S.J., and the deanship of Robert Fulton, S.J. In 1913, during the presidency of Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., the site of Boston College was transferred to the present extensive and beautiful campus at University Heights, Chestnut Hill, Newton. The bl1ildings already erected there are uni­

versally acclaimed as outstanding monuments of Collegiate Gothic in the United States.

Since the transfer to University Heights, other schools have been added, by foundation or affiliation, to the original College of Arts and Sciences. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the School

of Business Administration are also located at University Heights. The College of Arts and Sciences Intown, the Law School, and the School of Social Work are conveniently located in downtown Boston. The College of Liberal Arts in Lenox is situated in the heart of the Berk­shires. The School of Philosophy and Science, the School of Theology, and the Seismological Observatory are in Weston, Massachusetts.

LAW SCHOOL

• THE BOSTON COLLEGE LAW SCHOOL

In 1929, the Trustees of Boston College, with the active coopera­tion of eminent members of the bench and har, established the Boston College Law School. Formal instruction was commenced on September 26, 1929, and the first class was graduated June 15, 1932. With the graduation of this first class the School was officially approved by the American Bar Association through its Section on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar. In 1937, the School was elected to membership in the Association of American Law Schools. Women students were admitted to the School in 1940. At present the School is located at 18 Tremont Street, Boston, a few steps from the federal, state and munic­ipal courts. A few minutes distant are the State House, the Massachusetts State Library, and the world-renowned Boston Public Library.

PURPOSE AND METHOD OF INSTRUCTION

The purpose of the Boston College Law School is to prep:ue young n¥:n and women of intelligence, industry, and character for careers of public service in the administration of justice. With this objective, students are given a rigorous training in the principles and rules, the standards and technique of the law, not as ends in themselves, but as means to the attainment of justice in a society subject to constantly changing economic and social forces. The program of instruction is designed to equip the student to practise law wherever the Anglo­American system of law prevails. Hence, there is a thorough insistem:e upon the common law, although special attention is given to the law of Massachusetts, the other New England states, and New York state. Courses in public law are emphasized in accordance with the current development of American jurisprudenc~.

The case method of instruction, employed in all leading American law schools, has been followed from the foundation of the School. By this method the student is trained in the art of legal analysis and in ·the solution of legal problems by the same process of research and reasoning which he must usc in his professional career. He is trained to analyze complicated facts, to discern therein the real issues of law and of fact, to discover scientifically the pertinent case and statute law, and to solve the legal problem by a logical and accurate applica­·tion of the proper legal principles. All students are required to par­ticipate actively in the classroom: discussion of cases, and are en­couraged to confer with members of the Faculty at all times. Each first year student is assigned to a specific professor for the purpose of comultation and orientation.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS The American Bar Association, through its Section on Legal

Education and Admission to the Bar, has recently issued a statement for the guidance of young men and women who pLan to study law. It is entitled "Choosing a Law School" and reads in part as follows:

In troduc fi01t

"The choice of a good law school is the most important decision which a young man or woman intending to enter the profession of law has to make before actually beginning the training for a legal career ...

"It cannot be too strongly emphasized that students who are plan­ning on being admitted to the bar should secure their training in an institution which is recognized by all state boards of bar examiners. Otherwise they may find themselves not qualified for admission in a state where they wish to practice. There are law schools in existence which do not measure up to the accepted standards of the profession and whose graduates are not eligible to take the bar examinations in about half of the states of the Union. These states sometimes make exceptions in favor of local schools. Students should most carefully consider the requirements of admission to the bar in other states before entering any law school which is not fully recognized.

Legal Educatwn "Preparation for the bar has changed in character and extent dur­

ing the last third of a century even more than have the processes of general education ... Today the importance of getting the best law school training available is widely recognized ...

"For the young m,an or woman who has made the decision to become a lawyer or to gain admission to the bar for the sake of advancement in other fields, the question is no longer, 'How shall I get my legal training?' but rather, 'What law school shall I attend?' It is not possible to make any dogmatic answer to 'this query since the answer must depend on various factors which will differ in different cases, such as the finances of the student, the amount and nature of his pre-legal education, the time which he has to spend, his scholarship, and other things . . .

Academic Sta1tdards "Every student who starts to study law should do so in a school

approved by the American Bar Association, not only because those schools have been certified after careful examination as giving satis­factory training in accordance with accepted standards of the pro­fession, but also because there are m,any states where training in un­approved schools is not recognized by the licensing authorities • . . Although the person who begins law study may have a definite idea

LAW SCHOOL 1 5

where he intends to practice, circumstances may alter this intention even after he has finished his law school course and he should not allow himself, by attending an unapproved school, to be put into the position of being unable to be admitted to the bar in approximately half of the states of the Union ..

Pre-Legal Educati01t

"The American Bar Association has never made any recommenda­tions as to the subjects to be studied in the pre-legal course, nor has the Association of American Law Schools set out any list of subjects. In general it will be agreed that English, history and some science are desirable ingredients of the pre-legal course. In the main, however, its purpose is to mature the mind and develop the thinking processes which are so important in every branch of law study. The pre-legal student should begin the cultivation of professional standards of study as soon as possible. The pre-law requirement of completion of half of the number of hours required for a Bachelor's degree is b~t fulfilled for law school purposes in a college of arts and sciences and should not include courses having little or no intellectual content, such as phys­ical education, military drill, home economics, music, dancing, etc. Courses having to do with the law, such as business law, for example, are not considered as pre-legal cot1rses ..

Cmtclusion

"The student intending to begin the study of law should write to the clerk of the supreme court of the state where he expects to practice and secure a copy of the rules for admission to the bar in order that he may be sure that legal education will be such as to qualify him for admission in the state whero he wishes to practice. In some cases registration with the board of bar examiners is required at the beginning of law study. Students who neglect to comply with the rules of admission may find themselves in cliificulty when they seek to secure a license. The importance to the intending lawyer of en­rolling in a good law school cannot be exaggerated. The choice of a school ma y have a vital bearing on the student's future career."

APPROVAL

The Bostort College Law School is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. It is fully approved by the American Bar Association, through its Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar, and by the Board of Regents of t·he University of the State of New York.

MORNING AND EVENING DIVISIONS

The study of law is a difficult and exacting pursuit of the gravest individual and social importance. Hence, it is the policy of the School to urge all candidates to enroll in the Morning Division which is designed for students who devote substantially all of their working time to their studies. Classes in the Morning Division are conducted daily from Monday through Friday.

For the benefit of those who find it impossible to devote their full time to the study of law, the School conducts an Evening Division, which is substantially equivalent to the Morning Division in its pro­gram of instruction, in the personnel of its faculty, and in the total number of class hours. The character of examinations and the grading standar·ds are the same for both Morning and Evening Divisions. For the purpose of conserving the maximum time for study, classes in the Evening Division are concentrated on Mondr.ty, Wednesday and Friday evenings.

THE POST-WAR PROGRAM

To enable Veterans of World War II to compensate in part for the postponement of their professional careers, the Trustees of :Boston College have approved, for the post-war period, the following recom­mendations of the Law Faculty:

1. The required calendar tin1e of resident study at the Law School may be shortened to two years in the Morning Division, and to three ,years in the Evening Division, at the option of the student. This optional acceleration may be accomplished by attending, in ad-

' clition to the two semesters of the regular school year, both terms of the Summer Session. A student may accelerate his course to a lesser extent .by attending one term of the Summer Session (confer academic c:tlendar).

2. Students will be accepted at the beginning of each semester· of the regular school year to begin or continue the study of law; at the .beginning of each semester and at the beginning of each term of the Summer Session, to continue the study of law.

3. The Faculty reserves the right to change or discontinue the accelerated program when, in its judgment, such change or discon­tinuation may be advisable.

Veterans

In keeping with the polic,y of other departments of the Univer­sity, the Law School of Boston College makes every effort to assist the veteran to enter upon or to continue, as the case may be, his legal

education, and to complete it at the earliest possible time consistent wit.!! good scholarship. Beginning students are cordially invited to discuss their problems with the Dean and Faculty of the Law School. Veterans who were students at the School and who withdrew to enter the armed forces without completing their law course will he permitted, when honorably discharged from the service, to resume their work as far as possible and without delay at the point of interruption.

In the case of veterans entering upon the study of law for the first time, pre-legal credits will be recognized in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Association of American Law Schools and the American Bar Association. Credits earned in the service should be evaluated by the college or university last attended; but, if this is imposs~ble or inconvenient, the,y will be evaluated by the School of Arts and Sciences of Boston College. Applications from Veterans will receive individual consideration and courses of study will be arranged to meet the particular needs of the individual students in accordance with sound standards of legal education.

THE LAW LIBRARY

The main Law Library, recently remodelled and enlarged, now contains more than thirty thousand volumes. It has been grow­ing rapidly and, as in the past, substantial additions will be made each year. The Law Library includes several sets of Massachusetts and United States. Reports, the reports of the other New England states, the reports of all other state courts of last resort up to the National Reporter System, the Illinois Appellate Courts Reports, the entire National Reporter System; the English Reports Full Reprint, the Law Reports, the All England Law Reports; and the annotated reports, such as American Decisions, American Reports, American State Re­ports, Lawyers' Reports Annotated, American and English Annotated Cases, American Law Reports, English Ruling Cases, and the Lawyers' Edition of the United States Supreme Court Reports. The Library also contains the reports and decisions of administrative bodies, such as the Board of Tax Appeals, the Federal Communications Commission, the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Securities and Exchange Com­mission, the National Labor Relations Board, Court Decisions relating to the National Labor Relations Act, the Public Utilities Reports, and the Decisions of the Commissioner of Patents.

In its section of statutory material, the Library contains the Massachusetts Statutes, the Annotated Laws of Massachusetts, the United States Statutes at Large, the United States Code Annotated, the Uniform Laws Annotated, the statutes of the New England states

and a large nu~ber of other states, the Statutes at Large and the Public General Statutes of England. The standard legal digests and encyclopedias are available, such as the American Digest, the Massa­chusetts Digest, the Supreme Court Digest, the English and Empire Digest, American Jurisprudence, Ruling Case Law, Corpus Juris and Corpus Juris Secundum, ·words and Phrases, Perm. Ed., Halsbury's Laws of England and the Canadian Abridgment. In add~tion, the Law Library contains a large collection of standard non-legal works and books of reference; it is a depository of the works on Interna­tional Law of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

The Library is supervised by a full-time librarian and two assist­ant librarians. It is open from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., Monday through Friday; 10:00 A.M. to 6:00P.M. on Saturday; 1:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Sunday.

In addition to the Law Library, the General Library of Boston College, situated at University Heights, which contains approximately one hundred and seventy thousand volumes, is available to the stu­dents of the Law School. Students have easy access to the Public Library of the City of Boston, which contains more than two million volumes, and to the Massachusetts State Library of more than six hundred thousand volumes.

THE }AMES B. CARROLL READING RooM

Additional library facilities are available to the students of the Boston College Law School through the generosity of Mrs. Mary E. Carroll of Springfield, who donated to the School the entire personal law library of her late husband, Associate Justice James B. Carroll of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. This large collection, valuable for its content and its memories, is now shelved in a special section of the main Law Library and designated as the James B. Carroll Reading Room. A large oil painting of the late Mr. Justice Carroll is enshrined in the midst of the books which he used so skill­fully and devotedly during his seventeen years on the supreme judicial tribunal of Massachusetts.

THE LAW CLUBS

An important supplement to the formal academic instruction is provided by the Law Clubs and the Bostonia Competition. The pur­pose of the law clubs is to give the student practical instruction and experience in the analysis of legal problems, the use of law books, and the preparation and presentation of cases before an appellate court.

Page 22: Boston College Bulletin, Law, 1946 · This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Digital Commons @ Boston College Law School. It has been accepted for inclusion in

I. A\'{' SCHOOL 19

Membership is voluntary but all students arc urged to partiCipate in the law club work because of the valuable training an·d exerience derived therefrom.

Students taking part in such work are divided into small groups comprising the various law clubs, and are assigned cases for prepara­tion and argumentation throughout the year. In these arguments the clubs oppose one another, and the cases are heard and decided by practising attorneys who serve as Law Club Instructors.

THE BosToNtA CoMPETITION

The assignment of cases to the various law clubs is part of a competitive scheme which, by a process of elemination, culminates in the final argument of the Bostonia Competition. The final argument each year is conducted in public before a court conwrised of Justices of State and Federal courts.

THE NISI ·PRIUS CLUB

The Nisi Prius Club further supplements formal classroom in­struction by providing a forum for discussion of the law in action. Bi-monthly meetings are conducted at which addresses are delivered by members of the judiciary, administrative officials, and ·practising attorneys. An open discussion period follows each address. Special attention is devoted to the practise and procedure of courts and ad­ministrative agencies. Membership in the Club is open to students of all classes.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL

The Student Council affords a ready means of contact between the student body, the alumni, and the Faculty of the Law School. It provides an opportunity for consultation with the Faculty on all matters affecting the interests and welfare of the student body. Its membership is determined partly by academic standing and partly by election, being composed of the highest ranking students in each class together with the presidents thereof.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Candidates for admission to the Boston College Law School must be at least eighteen years of age and must:

1. Possess a Bachelor's Degree from an apfJro·ved college or university, or

1. Application must be made in wci.ting upon the official form. 2. Official transcripts of all collegiate and professional study

must be sent directly to the Registrar of the Boston College Law School ihy the Registrar of the institution in which such work has been done.

3. The application fee of five doUars must be paid before formal action will be taken on the application. This fee will be refunded if the application is dmied.

4. A personal interview may be required by the Committee on Admissions before an application is accepted.

5. If the application is accepted, the student must register per­sonally at the Registrar's office during the registration period in­dicated in this Bulletin. A fee of five dollars will be charged for late registration.

CREDITS AND GRADES

Scholastic standing is determined by written examinations con­ducted at the end of each semester or term. The quantitative unit in determining credits is the semester hour, which is equivalent to one hour of class work per week for one semester; the qualitative standard determining advancement and graduation is the grade quotient, as ex­plained below.

The standing of a student in individual courses is indicated by the following letter grades which, on a percentage basis, represent the following numerical grades: A + = Atbove 96 B + = 87 to 89 A = 94to96 B = 84to86 A- = 90to93 B_ = 80to83

C + = 77 to 79 C = 74 to 76 D = 70 to 73

E = 65 to 69 F = Bclow 65

For the purpose of computing the grade quotient, the above letter grades have the following point values per semester hour:

A +=6 B+=4.5 C+=3 A = 5.5 B = 4 C = 2.5 A- = 5 B_ = 3.5 D = 2

E=O F=O

In each particular course the number of grade points is deter­mined by multiplying the point value of the letter grade earned b y the number of semester hours in the course. The stand~ng of a

Page 25: Boston College Bulletin, Law, 1946 · This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Digital Commons @ Boston College Law School. It has been accepted for inclusion in

22 BOSTON COLLEGE

student for any period of time is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned during that time by the total number of semester hours taken during the same period. The result is the grade quotient for such period.

The lowest passing grade for an individual course is D; but for advancement with satisfactory standing, and for graduation, a student must earn a grade quotient of 2.5-which is equivalent to a general weighted average of C.

A student who receives grade E in any course must remove the deficiency by passing the next regular examination in that course; a student who receives grade F in any course must repeat that course by attending the classes and passing the next regular examination therein. A student who repeats a course or takes a deficiency examina­tion must fulfill the current requirements of the course. No special examinations are conducted at any time. Sulhject to the above pro­visions of this par.agraph, a student may not take a re-examination, for the purpose of raising his grade, without special permission of the Faculty.

A student whose grade quotient is less than 2 for any one year, or less than 2.5 for two years, may, in the discretion of the Faculty, be excluded from the School. No student can be recommended for a degree unless his grade quotient, for the work of his entire law course, is 2.5 or better.

ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance at all classes and proper preparation of all assigned work is required. For excessive absences or for inadequate preparation of assigned work students may be refused the right to take examinations. No student while in attendance at this School shall be registered in any other school or college or in any other department of Boston College without the written consent of the Dean.

The Faculty reserves the right to change the program of in­struction, the requirements for credits and degrees, and all regulations affecting the student !body when, in its judgment, such changes may be necessary or advisable. Such .changes may be made applicable to

students already enrolled.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The Trustees of Boston College confer the degree of Bachelor of Laws on candidates recommended by the Faculty of the Law School. Such candidates must have completed, with a grade quotient of 2.5 or better, the entire law course as prescribed by the Law Faculty. The required period of residence, in normal times, is three year for students

of the Morning Division and four years for students of the Evening Division. However, in accordance with the provisions of the Post­War Program the calendar time of required residence may be reduced to two years for students of the Morning Division and to three years for the students of the Evening Division. In the case of students granted advanced standing by the Committee on Admissions, at least two full semesters of work are required in residence at the Boston College Law School immediately preceding the award of a degree. Courses leading to the graduate degrees of Master of Laws and .Doctor of Juridical Science will be established in the near future.

THE RED MASS

The traditional ceremony popularly called the "Red Mass" is the Solemn Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit celebrated at the beginning of the judicial year, and attended hy judges and lawyers of all reli­gious faiths for the purpose of invoking God's blessing and guidance in the administration of justice. Its popular name is probably derived from the color of the vestments worn by the Officers of the Mass and the robes of the participating justices. As a Mass of the Holy Spirit, the vestments are red; and, in ancient days, the robes of the at­tending justices were bright scarlet. Moreover, the proper prayer of the Mass beseeches the aid of the Holy Spirit, symbolized by the flaming fire of Divine Love and Wisdom.

The precise origin of the Red Mass is obscured b,y its antiquity. The tradition goes back many centuries in Rome, Paris and London. From time immemorial this beautiful ceremony has officially opened the judicial year of the Sacred Roman Rota. During the reign of Louis IX, Saint Louis of France, La Sainte Chappelle was designated as the proper setting for the service. This magnificent edifice, erected in 1246, was used but once during ·the year and then for the Red Mass. The custom in England began in the Middle Ages and, even during the recent war, English judges and lawyers of all faiths at­tended the Red Mass annually in Westminster Cathedral.

THE RED MAss IN NEw ENGLAND

Under the sponsorship of His Late Eminence, William Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston, the Boston College Law School was honored and privilege to introduce this ancient and colorful ceremony to New England on Saturd~y, October 4, 1941. Fifteen Hundred distinguished members of the bench and bar filled the beautiful Church of the Immaculate Conception in Boston for the occasion. The Mass was celebrated by the Very Reverend William J. Murphy, S.J., then President of Boston College; the address was delivered by the Reverend William J . Kenealy, S.J., Dean of the Boston College Law School.

Under the sponsorship of His Excellency, Most Reverend Richard J. Cushing, D.D., Archbishop of Boston, the Sixth Annual Red Mass in New England will be conducted in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Boston, Saturday, October 5, 1946.
