The Moot Court Competition began in 1928 as the Law Club's Competition. It con- tinued as a Club competition until 1941 at which time it was entirely suspended. When competition was reopened in 1948 the club idea was replaced by the voluntary participation of individuals. Each participant is entitled to pick as a partner a member of his own class, and if a team should win its opening round it continues as a team throughout the rest of the rounds. However, if one of the partners drops out or graduates once the brief in a particular round is written the remaining partner has the option of continuing alone or picking up a new partner from his own class whether the new partner has ever participated or not. .If one partner should drop out before the brief for that round is completed the remaining' partner must pick a new co-counsel. Each team entering the quarter finals must have been exposed to the same number of competitions as each of the other teams. The first round is judged by students who have themselves participated in the com- petition. The next rounds are presided over by a bench of three faculty members, and the finals by eminent judges and members of the Bar. Judge Warren E. Burger of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia presided over this year's finals. Added honors are awarded to the competitors by a committee which selects a few of the finalists to participate in three contests outside the realm of the Law School, the Regional, the Yale-Virginia, and the Catholic University Competition. This committee consists of Professor Alford, advisor to the Moot Court, and Professors Spies and Woltz.
