The semi-final round of the Ames Competition in the Law School has been decided as follows: Parsons v. Choate, judgement for defendant; Kent v. Bryce, judgment for defendant. The final round of the competition will be argued on February 12, and briefs must be put in the competition box before February 5. A prize of $200 will be awarded to the winning club and another of $100 to the club losing in this final round. These prizes were established by a bequest of the late Dean Ames.
There were 22 clubs entered in the competition which takes the form of an elimination tournament, and consists of a series of trials of moot cases, an agreed statement of facts being framed by the Board of Student Advisers. At each argument the clubs are represented by two counsel apiece, only second-year men being allowed to compete.
