Winchester Law School
Winchester Law School was a privately run institution for legal education. Operated by Henry St. George Tucker, Sr., it was open from 1824 to 1831.
==History==
In 1824 Henry Tucker was named Chancellor of the Equity Court of the Fourth District, with jurisdiction in Clarksburg and Winchester. Since he had left the Virginia State Senate and a lucrative law practice to accept the judicial appointment, he needed to generate additional income. Because he had previously worked as a law professor, Tucker decided to start a law school.〔William Hamilton Bryson, (Legal Education in Virginia, 1779-1979 ), 1982, page 39〕
Using his father St. George Tucker's copies of Blackstone's Commentaries as the basis for his instruction, Henry Tucker lectured three days each week and gave his students regular quizzes to test their knowledge. In addition, he prepared, edited and published ''Tucker's Notes on Blackstone's Commentaries for the Use of Students''. ''Tucker's Commentaries'' provided the current state and federal law on each point covered by Blackstone, and was widely used because it focused on United States common law rather than English legal and political theory.〔William Hamilton Bryson, (Virginia Law Books: Essays and Bibliographies ), Volume 239, 2000, pages 345 to 347〕
The Winchester Law School was a success, largely because of Tucker's favorable reputation as an attorney and law professor. He had 11 students in the 1824 to 1825 session, and the student body steadily increased until he had over 30 students each term.〔Steve Sheppard, (The History of Legal Education in the United States ), Volume 1, 2007, page 413〕〔Virginia State Bar Association, (Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Virginia State Bar Association ), Volume 50, 1939, page 169〕〔Samuel C. Mitchell, Editor, (The South in the Building of the Nation ), 2002, page 338〕
