U.S. Supreme Court justices Robert H. Jackson and David Josiah Brewer, numerous New York State Court of Appeals judges and President William McKinley are among its notable alumni; Judge Learned Hand was a faculty member. These class notes from a student there in 1878-1879 cover courses on equity jurisprudence and evidence. Taught by Judge William L. Learned, president of the faculty and possibly a relative of Learned Hand, the course on equity jurisprudence draws on English common law sources such as Blackstone and Bracton, American sources such as Story, and civil law. The class also seems to have concluded with practical advice on trying cases. The course on evidence was taught by Hiram E. Sickels, reporter of the New York state court of appeals.
