If you tell 'em you've read in my office, it'll be all right.

I never knew 'em to fail to pass a student that had read with me--it wouldn't be professional courtesy to me.

You'll go through all right, don't worry.

You want to post up on a few such questions as, 'What is the law ?' and 'What are the seven--or is it eight ?--forms of actions at law ?' Then you want to be able to answer on 'What was the rule in Shelley's Case ?' There's sure to be some fool or other that'll ask you that question, just to show off--I don't remember what the d----d thing is myself--and you'll never hear of it again; but you get fixed to answer them three questions, an' you can be admitted to the bar all right anywhere in the State of Illinois, or leastways in this county.

Then it's customary for a fellow just admitted to the bar to have a little jug around at his office before court adjourns--just to comply with a professional custom, you know.
