The Ames award is one of the most distinguished prizes in the Law School. All students are required to join a club during their first year, and to compete in the arguments. There are approximately 70 clubs, each having a membership of eight men. The two best men in each club are selected to compete for the Ames Award, and the names of the winners are engraved on a plaque in Laugdell Hall.
