McAulay stated that according to a poll, in which lawyers were asked what courses would be most desireable as preparation for a law degree, the following were listed, in order of preference: English composition and literature, government, economics, American history, mathematics, English history, Latin, logic and philosophy. "Students should especially work at reading, writing, and using the library," he added. "They should also develop an ability to suspend judgment until all the facts are compiled."
