JOHN BASSETT MOORE SOCIETY | : | First Row: Q. Moyles, P. Moyles, Vinson, Wolfe. Second Row: Newton, Probert, Peters, Faison. Minnix. Third Row: Melnick, Abrams, Corson, Guthery, King, Denny, Shaffer. Founded in 1951 with an express purpose “to promote a comparative study of the law of nations,” the John Bassett Moore Society has sponsored an active program of discussion meetings and guest speakers since its inceptio n. Membership is open to all interested students, both those with specific interests in the field of international law, and those who wish to increase their general learning in this broad field. The Society is named in honor of John Bassett Moore, 1860-1947, distinguished in- ternational lawyer, jurist, statesman, and scholar, who, among his many notable achieve- | ments, represented the United States on the Permanent Court of International Justice. Mr. Moore was an alumnus of the University, receiving his Master of Arts degree in 1880. This year’s program featured talks to the Society by men prominent in several branches of international law. Among the more significant speakers were Sir Frank Kenyon Roberts, Permanent United Kingdom Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; Mr. Arthur Larson, Director of the World Rule of Law Center at Duke University; and Dr. O. P. Bhatnager, Professor of Modern Indian History at Allahbad University in India. The Society is also doing some research for the World Rule of Law Center on the question of the intention of the Framers of the Constitution as to the powers of Con- gress to unilaterally abrogate treaty provisions involving questions of domestic law.

MOOT COURT 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 partici- pation of individuals. The participants of the Third year Moot Court semi-finals were David L. Schwartz and Dabney Overton, Jr., against Charles H. Osterhoudt and Anthony Unger, and Robert K. Webster paired with J. Jay Corson, IV, against Philip C. Learned and W. Bruce Baird. They argued the hypothetical case of Jackson v. Minor Motor Sales,- which raised the constitutionality of the Dealer's Day in Court Act of 1956, which gives an automobile dealer a right of action for damages against a manufacturer for violation of their franchise agreement. Two hypothetical cases were selected for argument in the second year Moot Court. One, Moss v. Fleming, concerned an action for personal injuries sustained by a lessee’s wife against the lessor for negligently permitting a path of ice to form on the leased premises during the lease period. The other, Dinwiddle v. Parkinson, was an appeal from the dismissal of plaintiff's complaint on the grounds that a liquor seller who furnishes liquor to an intoxicated person is not liable for injury résulting from his negligent act. Additional honors are awarded to the competitors by a committee which selects a few of the more experienced advocates to participate in three contests outside of the Law School; the National Competition, the Columbia-Virginia Competition and the Catholic University Competition. This year also saw the University of Pennsylvania here to argue against one of these teams. The selection committee this year consisted of Mr. McCoid.
