"It is ordered that candidates for admission to the bar, who have taken a degree in one of the incorporated seminaries in the U.S. or their territories, may be examined on shewing they have studied two years, under the direction of one of the Attorneys duly admitted in the State."
[December 3, 1816, Book 1, 1813-1818, 229]
This is taken from the Supreme Court Minute Books, as reported by Warren M. Billings in his book The Historic Rules of the Supreme Court of Louisiana 1813-1879.
