For the fourth consecutive year the Virginia Law Weekly, the Law School's news- paper, won the American Law Student Association's award as the best law school pub- lication of its type printed in the United States. The honor was presented at the annual ALSA convention in August 1959 at Miami Beach, Florida. Since its inception in May 1948, the paper has been managed and directed by a self- perpetuating and independent organization of law students. It was established primarily for the benefit of the students, faculty and alumni who comprise the ‘“Law School com- munity” and incidentally as a service to the Bar in general. To that end it has become a permanent forum for expression of the interests of the Law School community and its friends. Coverage of the activities of the organized Bar and similar organizations is most often prompted by the participation of faculty, students or alumni of the Law School. How- ever, occasional feature articles treat programs of the various legal organizations and items of general interest to lawyers throughout the country. The Law Weekly includes Law School news, features on legal and other related topics, and the unique DICTA column, which each year examines a special legal prob- lem. This year the DICTA column was devoted to a study of “Law and Foreign In- vestment.’’ Membership on the Business and Editorial Staffs of the newspaper 1s achieved by successful completion of a tryout competition. The Boards are chosen in the spring from the second-year members of the staffs. A lively discussion concerning proposed changes to those sections of the Virginia Code which govern the administration of the Virginia Bar examination highlighted the Law Weekly ‘for 1959-60. As in years past the Law Weekly again soundly thrashed the Virginia Law Review in the annual contest for the touch football championship of Law School publications, leaving members of the favored Review team whimpering piteously at the scene of carnage. The Law Weekly supplies members of the Editorial and Business Boards and Staffs with a training ground and an outlet for skills in reporting and writing, as well as pro- viding opportunities to gain business experience and to learn how to direct the efforts of others. aPNe eee one unset ter a = 5

It devotes sections to the faculty, classes, organizations and activities, legal fraternities, and intramural athletics. The emphasis is equally divided between the formal and the candid. Through this medium an attempt is made to preserve current 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 fifth year of publication. The BARRISTER derives revenues from three sources: subscriptions from the stu- dents; contributions from Law School organizations and fraternities; and outside adver- tising. Of these, student subscriptions by far make up the greater part of the BARRIS- TER’S income. The BARRISTER is devoted to each and every student and without the support of the student body publication would become impossible. The BARRISTER wishes particularly to express its sincerest appreciation to the Law Wives Club and-to Mrs. Adele Failmezger of the Law Wives Committee for their un- tiring efforts in the preparation of manuscripts and for their generosity, and able and ees SAAR 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 ASG aPriest, We sincerely hope that your enjoyment of this issue of the BARRISTER, 1960, is commensurate with the staff's satisfaction and trauma derived from its compilation and organization.
