AMES COMPETITIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATES.

A large number of men from every graduating class enters the Law School; yet hardly a member of any class has the least conception as to what the work is actually like before he finds himself enrolled in the School.

The Ames Competitions undoubtedly afford the very best possible idea as to the real nature of law work. Recent changes, whereby actual cases either still pending before the courts or just decided are chosen for trial, have done much to strengthen and increase the interest of the competitions. All regular trials, a complete schedule of which, with dates and places of meetings is kept posted in Langdell Hall, are open to undergraduates. Not only do the competitions offer an exceptional opportunity to those men who are undecided as to whether they will enter the School but, because of the difficulty experienced by first-year men in seeing trials before actually faced by their own competitions, they should not be neglected even by those whose minds are made up.
