• catalog abstract "In 1911, as the result of a bequest from James Barr Ames, the Ames Competition in Appellate Brief Writing and Advocacy was established. The competition was organized as an elimination tournament. In the early years of the competition, no limit was placed upon the number of teams, or "clubs", competing --in 1911-1912, for example, twenty-one clubs competed-- and the regulations governing the clubs varied considerably from what they are today (2002). When the competition began to procede on a more organized basis, it was divided into two stages: the first-year and the upper-round competitions. The first-year competition was mandatory. Each student briefed and argued a case against another member of his club three times during his fist year. This practice continued until the end of World War II, when the great numbers of returning veterans forced a cut back to two arguments. In 1969 the faculty and the Board of Student Advisors decided to give first-year students the option of Ames participation or a written project. After these optional projects failed to materialize, the faculty made second-round Ames participation voluntary in 1970. First-year students are now required to participate in the First-Year Ames Moot Court Program as a part of Legal Reasoning and Argument, and to brief and argue a moot appellate case. The upper round of the competition adopted the basic eight memberclub. Eliminations consisted of a qualifying-round in the second-year Fall, a quarter-final that Spring, and a semi-final the following semester. These led to the final argument before a Justice of the Supreme Court in the Spring of the third year. In 1969, conflict with the required third-year paper and diminishing interest in the upper rounds led to the elimination of the quarter-finals and a reduction in the size of the competing teams to six members.".
