Journal of Legal Education, v47 n3 p341-68 Sep 1997
Examines the history of the Houston Law School (Texas), a part-time night school that operated from 1919-1945 and was part of a brief period of ascendence for proprietary law schools. Discusses its competition with another institution, shifts in standards and enrollments, and other factors leading to its decline. Notes parallels between this institution's history and that of the movement. (MSE)
