In the results of the Michaelmas Bar examinations appear the names of a number of women students who have passed some of the earlier examinations. There are over 20 aspirants to the Bar at the Middle Temple, and a few more at the other three Inns of Court, but none of them have yet reached the stage of the Bar Final. Two women students each secured a First Class—one in Real Property and Con-voyancing (and she also passed Second Class in Criminal Law and Procedure, no mean achievement) and one in Criminal Law; three other women students also secured Seconds in the latter examination. A woman also gained a Second Constitutional Law. There were four in the Third Class in Roman Law, but no feminine names appear in the other lists. Another two years must elapse before any woman can be called to the Bar, owing to the necessity of every student keeping 12 dining terms, even though he or she may have passed all examinations a year before or more.
