Court competition is under the
supervision of an advisory board
consisting of three seniors and six
juniors who fix the time of hear
ing, and set up cases for team ar
gument. When given a case, teams
research and file the brief with
the court. After filing, cases are
argued orally in an open court.
Decisions are based on the quality
of the brief and of the oral pres
entation. A single negative deci
sion eliminates a team from the
Allan competition. All cases are
individual, and a repetition is
never used. A fictitious state is
used in question of law. m
The public is invited and urged
to attend these trials. Entrance on
Thursday will be made at the
north end ground floor of the State
Capitol building.
