Its existence was indicative of a lacuna, one which academics would not fill. It took a group of law students, balancing their studies and other commitments, to organise such a publication.

As things stood before Act LXII of 1948, students after having obtained the academical degree of Doctor of Laws were required to attend regularly at the office of a practising advocate and at the sittings of the Superior Courts in order to be called to the bar. This caused much inconvenience and prejudice to law students who after a full seven year course at the Royal University were expected to undergo another year of practical training various efforts were made in the past to remedy this state of affairs but with practically no success. The said Act has happily altered the position. It provides that persons regularly following the academical course of law in the Royal University may start their forensic practice at any time after the 31st day of December of the last scholastic year of their course, instead of at any time after obtaining their degree. This enables graduates in law to start practising their profession six months earlier than was previously the case. The expediency of the reform is quite obvious especially in view of the length of the course for graduating in law. Moreover students have all the facilities of attending the sittings of the Superior Courts in the periods between lectures. The new measures were recommended by notable members of the legal profession and also by the University Authorities. It is hoped that the same facilities will soon be extended to students attending the course leading to the Diploma of Legal Procurator.

Abstract: CONTARDO FERRINI was born in Milan on the 4th April 1859, to Luigia Bucellati and Commandatore Rinaldo Ferrini, a famous professor whose work in the field of science is well known. Two years after Contardo's birth, Rinaldo bought a small villa at Suna near Lago Maggiore. There Contardo spent his childhood, running, healthy and happy, in the garden of the villa and on the shores of the lake. When he started going to school, he was at once marked for his sensitiveness which provoked much teasing from his fellows. Still he loved them all the more "for the sake of winning my ideals" he used to say.

Such bilateral promise is in common use and it is essential to establish its real nature so that one can deduce its true effects. The utility of such investigation is all the more felt when one considers that bilateral promises of sale are more common than unilateral promises.
