ASSIST STUDENTS
Georgetown University Law
Groups Are Given "PraC-
ticaI Experience"

Weekly sessions of the moot courts
held by students of the Georgetown
University School of Law are doing
much to stimulate interest IN plead
ing and a knowledge of regular court
procedure. These moot courts are
being conducted in connection with
the meetings of the various law clubs
at the school, which. in other years.
have been merely debating forums.
Two of the leading clubs are named
after Associate Justice Pierce Butler
of the Supreme Court and Edward
Douglas White, late Chief Justice,
whose memory as a student at George
town College at the outbreak OF the
Civil War is revered by his alma mater.
These clubs are under the supervision
of faculty members: AT the moot
court sessions a student is selected to
serve as presiding Judge. a legal case
is presented in court and students OPP
pose each other as counsel.
