Justice Black Is Ames Judge

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Associate Justice Hugo L. Black of the United States Supreme Court has accepted an invitation to preside over the final oral argument of the Law School's Ames Competition on Thursday, April 13. Justice Black will be chief justice of the Appellate Court of the fictitious Common-wealth of Ames.

Justice Edward A. Counihan, Jr., of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and Judge Ernest W. Gibson of the Federal District Court for Vermont, will be the associate justices. The members of the court were announced yesterday by John W. Scott, Jr., faculty assistant in charge of the Ames Competition.

The Ames Competition is a three-year series of arguments open to all Law School students who form clubs of eight men each. During the second and third years, quarter- and semi-final arguments eliminate all but two of the clubs, who compete for a final cash prize in the spring of the third year.

The opposing finalists will draw up briefs and present oral arguments on the assigned case.
