Summary:
The series consists of original certificates issued by the State Board of Regents endorsing the qualifying education of students
who learned the practice of law through clerking rather than attendance at law school. Students were examined in accordance
with regulations established by the Regents in subjects prescribed by rules of the Court of Appeals (arithmetic, grammar,
geography, orthography, English and American history, and English composition). If the student was deemed qualified, certificates
were issued.
