ORDER OF THE COIF The most ancient of all honor societies, the Order of the Coif, originally a forensic institution dating back to the thirteenth century in England, evolved outa tight-knit group of distinguished jurists who would select new members from the ranks of the apprentices, who had to prove their superior ability by pleading a real action in old Norman French. If these apprentices passed the test, they were initiated by a cere- mony not unlike the coronation of royalty, they were awarded the coif, a tight-fitting cap, which was worn constantly, even in royal presence. Judges were taken only from the Order. Today, the Order of the Coif is a national law school honor society, founded for the purposes of encouraging legal scholarship and advancingthe ethical standards of the legal profession. Its members are selected by the faculty from the upper ten per cent of the August, January and May graduating c1asses,based upon the grade averages at the end of the fifth semester. The election and initiation cermonies are held during the spring of each year. This year the Order began honoring another type of excellence: legal writing. The Triennial Coif Award is 951,000 for writing which evidences creative talent of the highest order. The 1965 recipient is Professor Brainerd Currie of Duke University, author of Selected Assays on the Conflict of Laws. It is only fitting to note that Currie's main thesis, interest analysis as a means of resolving conflicts cases, is currently being stressed in our own Law School.
