Student grade record cards date from the period 1893-1897. Each card relates to an individual student's name, courses taken at the School of Law, and course grades. The grade record cards are arranged first in chronological groupings thereafter in alphabetical order according to student surname.

A second category of grade record cards, 1892-1896, notes name and then recitation and examination grades for courses taken at the School of Law. Likewise, these record cards are arranged first in chronological groupings thereafter in alphabetical order according to student surname.

Rosters of students date between ca. 1893 and 1899 and record students' names and addresses. Information contained in the rosters is recorded chronologically according to class membership and alphabetically by surname.

Applications for admission or membership in School of Law classes typically note student's name, date of birth, place of residence, place of permanent residence, name and occupation of father or guardian, and a summary of previous education. The applications are organized chronologically by academic year, then by class, and finally in alphabetical order according to surname.

Course grade records note course title then feature names of students enrolled and then their grades. These materials are arranged first alphabetically by course title, and then chronologically by date of course.
