For the second year in succession the Virginia Law Weekly, the Law School's news- paper, won the national A.L.S.A. award for the best law school newspaper throughout the country. The paper was founded in 1948 in order to better report the news from with- in the portals of Clark Hall. It also contains feature articles written by editorial staff members which deal with various problems both directly and indirectly affecting the legal field. Furthermore, contributions from interested and prominent alumni are frequently published. Unique to the Law Weekly is the DICTA column which appears in every issue. A specific legal field is explored each year with leading authorities in the selected subject contributing their views. These articles are then published every week. The topic of dis- cussion this year was Administrative Law. Since lawyers are expected to be able to clearly express themselves through the written word, the Law Weekly offers valuable experience in expository writing. Administrative experience is also available by achieving a position on the Board through a spring compe- tition. Selection of these individuals is based primarily on interest, journalistic ability and scholarship. l
