Out of 146 law schools in the country, 39 are in Class A. This is the first year that such rating has been made by the association. The first step toward such classification was taken in 1921 when the association passed a reso lution advocating that no one should I . ... i "take the bar examination wno naa I not had two years of college train inr nd three vears in a standard law school. The Nebraska College of Law an ticipated final action on this resolu tion by adopting its provision in Jan-nai-v. 1922: the recommendations of the association were adopted in the summer of that year; so that at pre sent time Dean Warren A. Seavey is Able to state: "We are complying complying both in letter and in spirit with the recommendations of the American Bar association.
