A Most Unusual Law Library
The basis of LaSalle law instruction
is a fourteen volume library-we be-
lieve the most remarkable set of law
books you have seen-compiled by
leading professors and authorities.

This library might well be called-
"Law Simplified and Condensed"-
for it covers the whole basic field of
law in an orderly, classified and simple
manner. In many resident schools, the
LaSalle Law Library is a reference
work regularly used by students.

Supplementing this great library,
are lectures and personal instruction
of the highest grade, all under a defi-
nite, clear plan involving continual
use of the Problem Method, where
you train in law by dealing with actual

legal problems-learn by
doing the work-not by
memorizing rules.

To get the whole story,
you must investigate. And
the coupon below is the
easy way to start that.

-the law library illustrated here-written by out-
standing law professors supplemented by lectures-
cases and personal tuition by qualified lawyer-
instructors, will give you law training by home study.

ΤΗ

HOUSANDS of men today, who
never intend to practice before the
bar, are studying law.

They realize that the law trained
man is a leader-that law training
makes keen, clear, quick, correct
thinking that there is a real reason
why legally trained men head many
of America's greatest corporations.
Practical Law Training Through

HOME STUDY

In certain permitted states every
year, LaSalle trained men pass bar
examinations with high honors.
But many, many more men, take their
LaSalle law training to use
in business and find in it a
quick, sure key to progress
and leadership-to the
avoidance of pitfalls and
the picking of the sure and
certain paths of progress.

Many of the leaders
of 1945-1950 will
be determined in
1942. Will you be
one of them?
