Title	1890 Letter from the Dean of Albany Law School George W. Kirchwey to a Mr. Warfield
Description	George Kirchwey the Dean of Albany Law School wrote a handwritten letter dated August 13, 1890 to a Mr. Warfield. In the letter Dean Kirchwey discusses providing Mr. Warfield a student with a certificate and praises his excellent work. The student was George R. Warfield listed in the catalog of 1889-1890. A student could study law for a year and apply for a certificate that counted toward a clerkship that allowed him to take the bar exam. The New York Court of Appeals revised the rules for admission to the Bar in 1911. The new requirements allowed for four years of study or for those that graduated from college admittance after three years of study. Albany Law School after the court revisions passed a resolution requiring three years of study for a LL. B. degree, and ended the certificate privilege.
