WINSTON HIBBERT HE LIU Law Club, an organization of Brooklyn Law School students formerly of Long Island University, is the only functioning college Law Club of perhaps half a dozen Law Clubs existing before the war. Our active membership includes students attending all sessions of the school. Our most important work is done through our Scholarship Committee, whose Chairman is Alfred Lucia. It selects L.I.U. students each year to compete for a one year, complete tuition scholarship from Brooklyn Law School. Two students were awarded scholarships last year. Our purpose within the school is to give our members the benefits obtain- able only through organization, and to attain that goal by building upon the basis of former attendance at the same undergraduate school. As guest speakers, we have had lectures from Professor Arthur Block on How to Pass an Examination-and Related Mattersn and from practicing at- torneys illustrating the practical application of legal theory. Our aim for the future is to become as active as we were before the war when our link with both the Law School and Long Island University was so strong that we had lecturing professors from both schools, and conducted socials at which both were represented. Sometime before the Fall Semester commences we intend to convene all LIU, students planning to make a career of the law at which meeting we will discuss the various phases of legal education and encourage their matriculation.
