Institutio Legalis record book, 1783-1891 1783-1817.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53097858

This collection contains the record book of the Institutio legalis of Newark, New Jersey, which mainly covers the years 1783 to 1817, with additional notations from when the society was revived in 1837, along with other notes and a membership list that were added by Joseph P. Bradley in 1891. Included in the record book are the original constitution and by-laws of the society, as well as its original membership list. However, the bulk of the volume is devoted to the particulars of the moot court cases in which the law students argued their cases, as well as the decisions issued by the moot court judge, followed by a brief performance review of the students.
