651 63, AC (r::.-L On Marsh 1, 1995, Assault and Flattery, the law school variety show, opened another hit show--a farcical adaptation of The Sound of Music. With all due respect to our esteemed librarian, the show, written by mid-law Paula Smith, was titled The Sound of Mersky and featured the singing, dancing, musical, and acting talents of more than sixty law students. The Sound of Mersky was the tale of Maria, a new TQ played by senior Anne McGowan, and her seven TQ students struggling to make it through the year. They faced many obstacles along the way, including the over- bearing and militaristic Captain, played by third-year Patrick Keating, the scheming Elsa, played by first- year Scarlett Collings, and a crew of fascist Gunners. One student, the innocent Liesl played my mid-law Julie Dulac, got her heart broken by a nice-guy-turned-gunner, German exchange student Rolf, played by senior Wilhelm Liebmann. In the end, after several rousing dance numbers choreographed by senior Becky Henderson and her assistants Lori Tullos and Farrel Chapman, numerous songs, and a few interesting plot twists, the TQs tri- umphed. Maria and the Captain fell in love, Elsa was humiliated, and every- one lived happily ever after. Too bad it ' s not that easy in the real law school world. While it was the bulk of the produc- tion, the main theme was but one part of Assault and Flattery 1995. There were great skits, written by third-year Brian Graham, including Pulp Legal Fiction and The Simpson Trial which was really a trial of Homer--not O.J. Simpson. Medley, directed by second-year Amy Metcalf and third- year Joe de la Fuente, was wonderful as always, entertaining the crowd with close harmony renditions of songs adapted to law school life. Vital to everyone on stage was the backstage dedication of Technical Director, mid-law David Rodi, Set Designer, mid-law Holly Kordsmeier, and Assistant Director, third-year Ilan Levin. Musical accompaniment, as well as a rousing set at intermission, was provided under the guidance of Band Director, senior Mike Torres. Continuing its more than forty-year tradition, Assault and Flattery 1995, directed by Paula Smith, provided a great creative outlet for all involved and an exciting and hilarious produc- tion for all who attended. The show proved, as it does every year, that law students have many hidden tal- ents, and, when given a place to showcase them, the result is fun for everyone. 26 — Assault and Flattery

Boar©1 Advo©ates The Board of Advocates is dedicat- ed to the advancement of advocacy skills from trial and appellate litigation to negotiation, mediation and client counseling. The BOA achieves this goal by sponsoring numerous intra- mural and interscholastic advocacy competitions each semester. Membership is an honor earned through a combination of competition experience and administrative sup- port. Although membership has its iwn advantages, competitions are open to all second and third-year stu- dents who wish to participate. Even hose who do not participate as advo- ,;ates, including freshlaws, are encouraged to take part in the vari- ous events, playing crucial roles such as bailiffs and witnesses to earn points towards BOA membership. Each semester, the BOA sponsors ;everal events with the gracious sup- port of many Texas firms. Mock Trial events include the Carl W. Wilson Novice Mock trial endowed by Gardere Wynne, the Vial, Hamilton, Koch Knox Senior Mock Trial, the Locke, Purnell, Rain and Harrel Novice Mock Trial, and the Strasburger Price Senior Honors Mock Trial. Appellate competitions include the Gibbs Bruns Moot Court and the Susman Godfrey Moot Court. The BOA also sponsors the Thad T. Hutcheson Moot Court exclu- sively for first-year students. Additionally, the BOA holds compe- titions each year in voir dire, negotia- tion, mediation and client counseling. This year also saw the return of a very special event, the All-Star Mock Trial, an exhibition featuring Austin District Attorney Ron Woods and Houston defense attorney Dick DeGuerin battling in a courtroom presided over by Judge Sam Sparks of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. A very important part of the BOA mission includes participation in twenty interscholastic advocacy events at law schools across the country. Coming off a year of record success, BOA fielded many more tal- ented advocacy teams this year. Of particular interest this year were two interscholastic moot court events. The Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court, one of the nation ' s oldest and largest moot court competitions, which was held this year at the University of Texas School of Law in February and administered by the BOA. Also, the Judge John R. Brown Admiralty Moot Court, a compe tition founded and sponsored by the University of Texas School of Law and now in its second year, was held in San Francisco in the spring. The BOA is particularly proud to share its collective experience and talent with those considering careers in the law. Special efforts were made to reach out into the community to provide guidance and instruction to area high schools. BOA members acted as mentors to teen courts for the City of Georgetown and Westlake and also acted as judges for an undergraduate mock trial sponsored by Beta Alpha Rho, the University of Texas pre-law fraternity. The year was concluded by a ban- quet bringing together competitors, coaches, sponsors, faculty members and local attorneys. At this event suc- cess was recognized, and coaches and sponsors were thanked. FRONT ROW: Christopher T. Carver, Daniella D. Landers, Christopher 0. Bell, Karen M. Crook, Thomas M.
