Excerpt from Law Students Review and Quiz Book, in the Form of Questions Which Supply, Concrete Statements of Facts and of Answers Which Set Forth, the Legal Principles Involved Includes All Important Subjects, Conforms to the Practice of the Most Competent, Boards Of Ability correctly to apply legal principles to facts is what makes a lawyer. The aim of this book is to make lawyers; not merely to help candidates in preparing for the bar examination. Accordingly by applying important principles and doctrines of law to stated facts, it aims to give the student a taste of what he may look for upon entering the practice of the law. Within the limits of fifteen hundred questions and answers it is of course impracticable to present more than the barest outline of the law. An inspection of the work as a whole, however, should demonstrate that when the student has come to feel at home with the questions and answers, and with the principles involved, he should, upon being confronted by client or by bar examiner with facts involving the same principles, be better able to discern and state the legal principles which control. If he will not content himself with covering up the answer with a piece of blotting paper, and with seeing if on reading the question he can remember the answer; but on the contrary will rather let the question sink in, and reason out his own answer, correcting the result, if correction be needed, by the answer in the book, he will get the full benefit of my efforts and of his own. The writer has examined several thousands of applicants for the bar; and as a result, these pages betoken the earnest hope that candidates may be induced and helped to depend less on memory, and more on the power of analysis and reasoning. To spend time (and money) learning by rote scores of detached definitions, maxims, rules and precepts, but to omit to apply them again and again, is to invite failure. The best and fairest law examinations search a students power of discerning, of reasoning, of applying what he has learned, rather than his memory.
