"The Court this day adopted the following rule which they ordered to be entered on record, viz:
It is ordered that candidates for admission to the bar who shall give satisfactory assurances to the Court that they have received a good classical education, altho'[sic] they may not have taken degrees in any College, may be examined on shewing that they have studied two years under an Attorney duly admitted to practice in this State."
February 27, 1819, Book 2, 1818-1823, 39]
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.
