Fourteen law students representing the Marshall and Jeremiah Smith Law Clubs will appear in the Final Argument of the Ames Competition at 8 p.m. tonight in the Langdell Courtroom.

Law Clubs have argued appellate moot count cases at the Law School since 1820, and upon a bequest of the late James Barr Ames in 1911 these arguments became known as the Ames Competition. The two finalist tonight will terminate a three years competition which has involves over sixty other clubs.
Judges, as announced previously, will be the Honorable William O. Douglas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Harold P. Williams, Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, and Charles E. Clark, Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Presenting the oral argument for the Marshall Club will be William A. Carroll '49 and Richard A. Myren. Opposing them are Joseph R. Cortese and Phillip C. Potter, Jr. '48. All these men are in the third year of Law School. The remaining five members of each club have prepared the briefs.
