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.

THE RED PENCIL CORPS: STANDING: Mssrs. Lynch, Casad, Nelson and Gray, Editor-in-Chief, SEATED: Mssrs Welch, Lacey, Cooperrider and Tobin FACULTY ADVISORY BOARD LUKE K. COOPERRIDER, Chairman LAYLIN K. JAMES JACK R. PEARCE JOHN VV. REED MANAGING EDITOR RUTH GRAY THE Law Review boys spent another busy year grinding out notes and comments. Thanks to the efforts of all concerned, the March issue was able to make its appearance in March. Members of the Upper Stall have worked long and hard in the rarihed atmosphere of the fourth lloor of Hutchins Hall at their assigned task of making sure that each writer's work is covered with the proper number of relevant and irrelevant comments and corrections when it is handed back to him for another try. Since this is their only function, the Stall' fand the Editorj go at this job with perseverance and a good deal of relish. Undaunted by these machinations, however, the writing side of the stall managed to produce at excellent quality and quantity levels for volume 55. QSee 55 Mich. L. Rev. 1 et seq., 1956-57.5 This year's Junior Class produced the largest group of tryouts ever to go through the Review indoctrination program - almost 60. During the course of the year the members of the group produced some excellent material in spite of all the hurdles created by diligent Associate editing. In the spring semester they embarked - very successfully - on a program of advance sheet reading and case selections. Although it was reported that some members of the group thought that they were in a training course for VVest Digest writers, the experience con- stituted a substantial and much-needed addition to the tryout program. Under the competent guidance of George Lynch, the Review engaged in an active social program during the year, sparked by the Tea and a picnic outing in the fall, a series of monthly luncheons for the senior stall, and climaxed by the Banquet for all members of the Review in May. 69
