By virtue of their defeat of the Cheate Club last Friday night in the Court Room of Langdell Hall, the Harlan Club advanced to the final round of the Ames Award Competition arguments. S.B. Anderson 3L, and E.F. Morris 3L, represented the winning club in the debate, which centered about a fictitious case involving a "conflict of laws."
J.A. Keegan 3L, and A.J. McFarland 3L, set forth the case of the Choate Club in the argument, which was attended by an audience of approximately 300 persons. Hon. C.P. McKinney, Justice of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, presided. The other judges were Hon H.B. Wells, Judge of the Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey, and the Honorable J.A. Lowell '91, United States District Judge for Massachusetts.
On Friday evening, January 20, 1933, at 8 o'clock in the Court Room of Langdell Hall, the Harlan Club will meet the Brandeis Club, which defeated the Lowell Club in the other semi-final debate last Thursday evening, in the final round of the competition. Regardless of the outcome of this argument, the two Clubs will share the prize of $500, which is awarded to the two groups reaching the final round. The topic to be discussed deals with the branch of property law involving "future interests." The judges have not yet been selected.
