TO HOLD FINALS OF LAW SCHOOL CONTEST

Kent Club Will Meet Warren Club in Finals on January 13--Wins Right to Argue in Ames Competition by Defeating Langdell Club

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As a result of the semi-final round of the Ames competition in the Law School, the Kent Club has been chosen to argue against the Warren Club in the final round of the competition, which will be held in the main center lecture room in Langdell Hall on January 13 at 8 o'clock. The winning club will be awarded a prize of $200 or more and the runner-up at least $100.

F. E. Parker Jr. 3L. and G. A. Brownell 3L., representing the Kent Club, defeated C. C. Parlin 3L. and W. McK. Meek 3L. of the Langdell Club in one of the semi-finals matches. The judges were Judge A. M. Morton '90 of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, presiding, Mr. C. P. Curtis Jr. '14, Assistant Federal District Attorney, and Mr. Mal- colm Donald '99 of the Boston Bar.

In the competition between the Warren and Ames Gray Clubs, E. H. McDermott 3L. and F. W. Williamson 3L. of the Warren Club defeated H. R. Guild 3L. and G. E. Hubbard 3L. of the Ames Gray Club. The judges were the Honorable John D. McLaughlin, Justice of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, presiding, Mr. A. D. Hill of the Corporation Council of Boston, and Mr. John G. Palfrey '96 of the Boston Bar.

The records for the arguments were prepared by Professor Felix Frankfurter, L. '06, and are similar to those of a case now pending before the United States Supreme Court.

In the Law School, the Ames competition extends throughout the course. First year students are formed into clubs of eight whose members argue legal points with one another. In the second year, there is an inter-club elimination contest, reducing the number of competing clubs to four. Finally, in the third year, when the semi-final and final rounds are held, two representatives from each club argue the case in question before justices who decide upon the winner
