Organization to Start Next Week
The organization of the Law Clubs and the work of the Ames Competition will be started early next week, under the direction of this Board. The clubs are not primarily social; they are created to afford members of the Law School an opportunity to get practice in the preparation and argument of law cases in as realistic a manner as possible through the medium of moot courts. In the first year the arguments are entirely intra-club, and each club must hold a certain number of trials to qualify for the Ames Competition, which starts in the second year. The 32 second year clubs which have qualified this year, will compete against each other throughout the winter until all but four are eliminated. The four third year clubs now surviving, which will compete for the 1922 championship, consist of the Kent, Ames-Gray, Beale and Edward H. Warren Clubs.
There will be a reception for all new students in the Law School at eight o'clock on next Monday night in the Union, at which President Lowell, Professor Samuel Williston '82, Judge Morton, and Dean Warren will speak. The chairman of the Board of Advisers will at the same time outline to the new men the law club system and will explain the operation of the Ames Competition.
