-Four 6. j. Law Clubs
Ready 10 Open
Moot Court Series
Annual Arguments Are
Scheduled to Begin
Next Thursday


University's four law clubs open
their annual series of inter-club
arguments Thursday evening in the
moot court" at the School of Law.
Four preliminary arguments are
held during the school year, each of
the clubs being represented by one
speaker chosen as result of a try
out. The winners of the prelimin-
aries are then entered in a final
contest to determine the club
championship" Prizes are offered
by the law school to the winner of
each argument.
In former years the clubs staged
regular debates, but a few years
ago this method was changed to
represent the argument of cases
taken on appeal. One student serves
as the appellate judge and the con-
testants represent the legal counsel
on each side.
Clubs to Participate.
The four clubs are the Edward
Douglas White, the Pierce Butler,
the Ashley M. Gould and the John
Carroll Clubs. Michael Keegan and
John Maloney. respectively, are the
student chancellors of the White

afternoon section is represented by
the Gould Club, of which Robert
Murphy is chancellor, and the Car
roll Club, over which William Foster
presides. The two morning clubs
are named after a former chief
justice of the United States Supreme
Court and one Of its present asso-
ciate justices. The Gould Club de-
rives its name after a District jurist
