LAW SCHOOL The moot court at the National Un!- versity Law School has fourteen jury trials pending, both civil and crimi- nal cases. The trials are conducted under conditions identical with thal found in the local courts.

Bellew, assistant clerk of the District of Co- lumbia Supreme Court, is clerk of the moot court-at the £chool and the stu- dents are required to follow the same precedure as is_requirel in aciual practice. Prof. Glenn Willett sits as *“Judge” of the law branch of the moot court, and malefactors of all kinds are brought before the bar of Justice by the embryo lawyers, “defendants” may be murderers, burglars, robbers or ordinary boot- leggers. Juries are impaneled from the student body. Those persons charged with bootlegging who have | demanded jury trials have been uni- formly successful in obtaining ac- quittals. Julius L Peyser is the judge of the equity branch of the moot court and all equity cases are tried in this court. The rules of equity pleading and practice are followed by the students with the same particularity as in real practice. A court is also held for probate practice, and Louls A. Dent, formerly register of wills of the District of Columbia, sits as Jjudge of the probate moot court. this court the students are required to go through all the steps required in probating & will. The right of appeal is provided for in the moot court of appeals. Three judges sit on the appeals bench—Prof. Hayden Johnson, Prof. Irving Willlamson, and the dean of the faculty, Charles F. Carusi. The routine followed in all of the moot courts is similar to that followed in actual practice, for the purpose of accustoming the student to the regular routine of a real court. The students appear to experience the same elation in winning a hard- fought case in the moot court Which a seasoned lawyer would in winning a case in the United States Supreme Court. Many humorous situations arise in these moot cases. Mary an “expert witness” has been disqualiified for knowing less about his subject than the opposing counsel. Wit~ nesses have been discredited when the opposing counsel have disclosed that they have been convicted of in- famous crimes. The National University Law School dance will be held at the City Club on the evening of November 25.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Brilliant in every aspect was tlie assembly of 250 women, students and alumnae of Howard University, in the first annual Howard women's dinner Friday evening, November I, in the university’'s new dining hall. The affair was planned by Dean Lucy D. Blowe, who had as her motive the unifying of the women of the vari- ous departments of the university and the coming together of the under- graduates and alumnae in a_comm bond of sympathy and fellowship. Among the speakers were Dean Slowe, Miss Dorothp Pelham, Miss Bertha McNeill, and Mrs. Coralic Cook. Miss Mamie Neal of the coi- lege department and Miss Lena Ed wards of the school of medicine rep- resented the undergraduate life. A dramatic Asbury M. E. incident occurred at Church, 11th_and K streets, Sunday, November 5, when President J. Stanley Durkee of the Howard University was presented b Dr. J. U. King, the pastor of Asbury, to preach the morning sermon. Dr. King, in order to evidence the influence of Howard University in Asbury, requested all who had ev attended Howard University as stu- dent or teacher, to rise. Approx: mately one-third of the congrega tion did so. He asked them (o r: main standing and then requested all families there represented which had had sons, daughters or relatives i: Howard, to stand. Another third of the congregation stood. It was thus shown that Howard University through approximately two-thirds of the membership of A< bury, has wielded a potential Mmfiuetce in shaping the lives of a responeibi. portion of this great Methodist cor gregation. Dr. King stated that he had doubt that the same showing wou be made by approximately every colored church in the District. on is being give als and organizo ourstanding suc to Much co-0pe by various indi tions to make cess of the two an social affai held on Thanksgiving day after ti annual “foot ball classic of the year at the Coliseum, $th and Pennsviv benéfit of the departme education of the Howar E.
