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.

The John Bassett Moore Society of International Law was founded at the Law School in 1951. Recognizing the growing importance of international law as it affects the American lawyer, the society was organized to foster greater understanding of the problems of international law and relations. Membership is open both to those students who have an interest in specific problems and those who wish to generally increase their knowledge in the field. The name of the society bears honor to John Bassett Moore, 1860-1947, reknowned international lawyer, jurist, and statesman whose accomplishments included a seat on the Permanent Court of International justice at the Hague. He received his Master of Arts degree from the University. In its seven years of existence the society has sought to accomplish its purpose through the medium of research papers, open forums and notable speakers. This year's program began in October with a talk on Recognition of Red Chinn by the society's faculty advisor, Professor Hardy C. Dillard. Mr. Isadore G. Alk, a former government lawyer from Washington, D.C., spoke in November on Repnrntio-nr and the first semester program culminated in December with a dinner meeting at the Keswick Country Club. Mr. John G. Laylin, a partner of the Washington, D.C., law firm of Covington and Burling, spoke on The Role af the Private Lawyer in I nternntionnl Law. The spring program got under way in February with a talk by Professor Kenneth R. Redden entitled An American Lawyer in ihe Middle Enrt. It lists a forum on the military's role in international law and relations and an address by Leverett Saltonstall, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.
