form habits of sound judgment based upon complete
analysis, thorough research and proper evaluation;

students with the proper use of computer-assisted
legal information systems and legal publications,
including the various citators, digests, encyclopedias
and case annotations;
- To awaken in students a proper respect
for civil authority, a sincere love of truth,
a deep sense of justice, a tempering spirit of
equity and an enduring habit of fortitude;
- To develop facility in legal writing through
the preparation of legal memoranda, pleadings
and various forms of legal documents;
- To engender in the student an abiding
consciousness of the social obligation of the
attorney as an officer of the court, of the fiduciary
