Scope and Contents

From the Collection: This collection consists of the typescript manuscripts of two textbooks (two copies of each) created by Albert John Farrah, Dean of the University of Alabama Law School from 1912 until shortly before his death in June of 1944. The first is “Law and Education” which collected in “one group, abstracts of all the cases pertaining to schools and education in the state of Alabama.” (Summary, p. 344). The second is “Abstracts of Alabama Supreme Court Decisions Relating to Education: Compilation of Basic Data.” Both books were probably prepared in early 1934. While the second book has a publication date of 15 February 1934, the first book does not but it can be inferred as 1934 because the latest court case listed is from April 1934.
