THE BARRIS TER Firrt raw: Bunting, Rutter, Moeling, Kaplan, Coppeto, Merchant. Second raw: Devine, Fulton, Mor- gan, Ellington, Johns. Third row: Berney, Cooper, W. A.g Wentworth, J. V., Baumer, Frazier. The BARRISTER is devoted to an exposition of every phase of Law School activity. It devotes sections to the faculty, classes, organizations and activities, and Legal frater- nities. The emphasis is equally divided between the formal, as represented, for example, by the faculty, and the candid, as represented by fraternities. Through this medium an attempt is made to preserve life in the Law School for the future. The BARRISTER was originally begun as the private project of the Sigma Nu Phi Legal Fraternity as a result of a suggestion by Dean Ribble. The second issue of the book was published by a staff made up of volunteers. Presently the BARRISTER operates as a non-stock corporation and its membership is open to any student desiring to work on it. This is the third year of publication. The BARRISTER derives revenues from three sources: subscriptions from the stu- dents, contributions from Law School organizations and fraternities, and outside ad- vertising. Of these student subscriptions by far make up the greater part of the BAR- RISTER's income. The BARRISTER is devoted to each and every student and without the support of the student body publication would become impossible. Therefore every student is urged to subscribe and support this publication. The BARRISTER wishes especially to express its sincerest appreciation to the Law Wives Club and to Mrs. Philip Elliott of the Law Wives Committee for their untiring efforts in the preparation of manuscripts and for their generosity, and able and willing cooperation in so many other ways, without which this publication would be impossible. We also wish to express our appreciation to our faculty advisor Professor A. I. G. Priest. We sincerely hope that your enjoyment of this issue of the BARRISTER, 1958, is com- mensurate with the staff's satisfaction derived from its compilation and organization.

VIRGINIA LAW REVIEW Fir-rt row: Willey, Powers, Mearns, Wellford, Abeles, Saunders, DeLoache, Williams, Hochberg, Matthews, Berney. Serond raw: Whitaker, Taylor, McKee, Landess, Baird, Atkin, Howard, Adams, Lustig, Frazier. Third row: Neville, Lilley, Waller, Edwards, Parker, Purcell, Hoover, L. H., Craig, Castleman, Pearce, Horsley. Fourth row: Salladin, Tranakos, Marcus, Goolrick, Slaughter, Brasfield, Sedberry, Rodgers, O. L., Cooper, W. A., Peter, Underwood, Hampton, Crounse, Sigal. The Virginia Law Review serves the legal profession in two ways, it keeps the busy practitioner abreast of new developments in the law, and it functions as a research tool for the solution of legal problems. Responsibility for publishing is entirely in the hands of law students, and much of the material published is written by members of the Edito- rial Board in the form of Notes, dealing with a phase of the law, and Decisions, dis- secting a recent case of unique interest decided by one of the nation's courts. The Review functions most significantly as a forum in which members of the bar, professors, or laymen, experts in some phase of the law, may express themselves in Articles dealing with the particular phase, trend, or concept of the law. Shorter Comments are also pre- pared by professional and lay contributors, as are reviews of books of interest to the legal profession. The Review is presently in its forty-fourth volume. The oldest law review in the South, it is one of only seven in the Nation which publish eight times a year. Membership on the Editorial Board of the Review is initially based on an individual's academic standing which entitles him to compete for membership. Selection at the end of the six week try-out is made solely on the basis of aptitude as demonstrated by the work submitted, and not on a fixed number of vacancies, existing. At present, there are seven editors, thirty-six mem- bers of the Editorial Board, and fourteen members of the Business Board.
