ORDER OF THE COIF 'E he most ancient of all honor societies, the Order of the Coif, originally a forensic institution dating back to the thirteenth century in England, evolived out of a tight little 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 ceremony not unlike the coronation of royaltyg 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 advancing the ethical standards of the legal profession. Its members are selected by the faculty from the upper ten per cent of the September, February and June graduating classes, based upon the grade averages at the end of the fifth semester. The election and initiation ceremonies are held during the spring of each year. TEN PER CENTERS. STANDING: Mssrs.
