The Texas International Law Forum is a journal devoted to furthering the study of public and private international law. The Forum publishes articles written by authorities in the field and has a world wide distribution. Casenotes, comments, and book reviews written by students of the School of Law are an equally important part of each issue. Those students who fulfill the Forum’s writing requirements become members of the Casenote and Comment Staff and are eligible for election to the Board of Editors. The Forum is one of three student-edited international law journals currently listed in the Index to Legal Periodicals. In spite of cramped conditions and hard to meet deadlines the Editorial Board does the work required to get out a first rate Journal. International Law Forum 175

International Law Society The Society was organized in 1963, and shortly thereafter was voted membership in the Association of Student International Law Societies. The purpose of the Society is to foster interest in international and comparative law as well as the related subjects of foreign trade and international affairs. The Society has monthly dinner meetings with such speakers as Dr. Juscelino Kubitschek, former President of Brazil, and Professor Julius Stone, famed Australian jurist. The Society has also sponsored several coffees and discussion groups in the Fireside Lounge with Dr. Luis Bel-tranea of Guatemala, a group of Chilean students, and others. Student members of the Society publish the Texas International Law Forum, run an active Placement Bureau, and participate in the International Law Moot Court Tribunal Competition. The Texas team has won the regional competition each of the three years it has entered and the final round of the Competition in both 1964 and 1966 in Washington, D.C. This year the Society initiated and administered the Texas-Guanajuato Law Student Exchange Program, whereby the Law School will have an annual exchange of law students with the University of Guanajuato, Mexico. The sponsor of the Society is Professor Woodfin Butte. 174

The Legal Research Board was created in 1962, which the approval of the State Bar of Texas. The board serves two important functions: It provides law students with an opportunity to gain valuable experience through researching and preparing legal memoranda on actual cases submitted by lawyers; and it provides a readily available research assistant for lawyers with difficult and time consuming research problems, or with limited library facilities. Cases submitted are promptly researched, and the attorney can expect a thorough memorandum on the legal points involved within a month from the date of the receipt. The Board is composed of a Director, five Associate Directors, and a staff of approximately forty writers. Membership is predicated upon successful completion of a legal memorandum on a difficult qualification problem and producing satisfactory work as a writer-candidate. As a writer the student is expected to complete two problems each semester which include research in the various areas of criminal law, procedure, taxation, insurance, trademarks, and many others. 176 Legal Research Board
