Georgetown Reaches Final Round In National Moot Court Competion

Doctor Heinrich Kronstein has been honored with the distinction of an

Honorarprofessor appointment to the

Faculty of Law of the University of Frankfurt. The fields included under his appointment are Trade Regulation and Comparative Law. By virtue of his position as an honorary professor, he may teach these subjects, if he so chooses, at the famous German university. He also enjoys all the rights of a full professor of the university, such as participation in faculty meetings and decisions.
Doctor Curt Staff, President of the
Court of Appeals (Criminal Division) for Hesse, received a similar appointment at the same time as Doctor Kronstein.
As a result of Doctor Kronstein’s appointment, all the doctorate theses on Comparative Law submitted to the University of Frankfurt will be sent to him for examination and criticism. The appointment also makes it possible for students at Georgetown University School pf Law to have ready access, with the assistance of Doctor Kronstein, to German resources for the study of Comparative Law.
Swinging into action shortly after the election of class representatives and the nomination of delegates from the law clubs, the House of Delegates of the Student Bar Association convened and set into motion several committees which will function throughout the year to provide activities of an intellectual, social, and recreational nature for students here at Georgetown Law School.

As provided for by the SBA Constitution, ratified early in the school vear by the student bodv, the House of Delegates is the legislative body of the organization and is composed of the Board of Governors, that is, the officers of the SBA and the Governorat-Large; the class delegates; delegates from the law clubs; the chairman of each standing committee and section of the SBA ; and the delegatesat-large.

D. C. Cup Retained By School As Result of District Victory

On Friday night, December 14, Georgetown's Moot Court team entered the final round of the Second Annual National Competition. The adversaries represented the University of Arizona. 1he bench consisted oi the following: Mr. Justice Harold H. Burton, Supreme Court of the United States; Judge John J. Parker, U. S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit; Judge Herbert F. Goodrich, U. S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit; Judge Edmund H. Lewis, New York Court of Appeals; and Hon. Whitney N. Seymour, President of the Bar of the City of New York. Georgetown’s advocates, Rev. Joseph M. Snee, S.J., I). C. ’52, and George J. Meiburger, Mo. ’52, presented the argument for the petitioner. The court rendered a divided decision in favor of the resnondent. the University of Arizona.

Organized by the Junior Bar Committee of the New Aork City Bar Association, the annual National Moot Court Competition is rapidly moving toward the center stage of law school activities. The finalists are chosen as a result of nation-wide eliminations from more than sixty schools. The interest in the Competition was greatly enhanced this year by the timeliness of the problem presented. The facts of the case, in brief, are as follows: John Doe, State’s Attorney from Movieland County was duly subpoenaed to testify and produce papers before the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce which was authorized to conduct an investigation into the existence and extent of criminal, immoral, subversive and corrupting elements and influences upon the motion picture industry.

FR. LUCEY GIVEN HONORARY DEGREE BY THE UNIVERSITY OF FRANKFURT

The Reverend Francis E. Lucey, S.J., became on November 20, 1951, the first Jesuit in modern times to receive an honorary degree from a German university. The Faculty of Law of the University of Frankfurt conferred the degree, honoris causa, of Doctor of Civil and Canon Law upon Father Lucey for his oustanding work in legal philosophy, particularly in the field of natural law.
The degree particularly praised Father Lucey for the excellence of his knowledge and research in social philosophy, for his fusion of the truths of classical philosophy with the principles of our own time, for his brilliant contributions to modern jurisprudence, for his unceasing mindfulness of the

the committee, Doe was subjected to Kleig lights, microphones, constant snapping of flashbulbs by press photographers, and an overcrowded committee room. He refused to testify on the ground that such subjection was a violation of his Constitutional rights, erffo he could not he convicted under the contempt statute.
He was indicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment hy a District Court under R.S. 102. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed without opinion. Retit ion for certiorari was granted and the case was argued before the Moot Court in the same manner as if it had been before the Supreme Court of the United States.

USED BOOK EXCHANGE TO BE OPENED BY SBA

The S.B.A. has undertaken to satisfy a long-desired need of the student body by setting up a Student Book Exchange. The Exchange is designed to enable the student to remain pocket-book happy while* purchasing used case books and text books. The creation of such a facility also obviates the time-consuming practice of searching the bulletin boards.
The plan tentatively adopted is this: any student wishing to sell his books will deposit them in the office of the Book Exchange and stipulate the price desired for the same. After the hooks have been stamped with the seller’s price, they will be ottered for sale hy the Exchange Office, and upon sale' of the same the money will be promptly turned over to the owner of such books.

In the opening round of the finals,
Georgetown bested the advocates from the* University of Miami (Fla.). The next victory was at the expense of the* team from Cornell University. In the semi-finals, Georgetown’s representatives won out over the University of North Carolina. All three decisions were rendered in Georgetown’s favor by a unanimous bench.
Prior to their appearance in New
York, our team had succeeded in retaining the 1). C. Cup —symbol of the winner in the D. C. Circuit of the N ational Moot Court Competition.

Under such a plan each student will have a “bargain-basement” opportunity to browse, examine, and select the book or books which suit his purse and taste.
The Exchange Office has set a fee of ten cents for each book sold through its office. This fee will be used to defray operating costs, and any profit from this organization will be used to purchase subscriptions to magazines and newspapers which will be placed in the social room of the school. If, after this, any profits still remain, they will be deposited in the S.B.A. fund. Samuel R. DeSimone, Mass. ’53, will supervise the Exchange.

With the curtain down on the 1951
Competition, Georgetown can look forward with pride and confidence to 1952. It owes and gives sincere thanks to its team. During the last two years, Georgetown is the only school to get past the quarter finals twice. Furthermore, prior to the final round in New York, our teams had been successful on various levels of the competition for twelve consecutive times. Our record is the finest. It represents the able work of our students and of Professor Paul R. Dean '46, faculty moderator to these successful teams during the last two years.

The success of Georgetown Law School’s team in gaining second honors at the Second National Moot Court Competition affords a splendid opportunity to the Ren: Ipsa tending a “well done” to students of the Law School again. Such a remarkable record in this field—first honors last year and second this year—is indeed a reason why we should be proud of this achievement. The time and effort which has gone into the preparation for this competition has yielded and will continue to yield valuable experience to members of the team—experience of which few law students can boast.
The speakers from schools throughout the country that have met the representatives from Georgetown Law School in these last two competitions have become convinced of our high regard for oral argument. They can be sure that through the continued work of our law clubs, we shall be able to send to the National Moot Court Competitions the same type of accomplished participants which we have s e n t  and f or which the national event has become known. for ex-

The first alternate on Georgetown’s team was Charles J. Pilzer, D. C. ’52. Mr. Pilzer is a native of the District and obtained his B.S. degree from George Washington University in 1949. An active member of Pierce Butler Law Club, he is also a member of Phi Delta Phi Fraternity, and Administrative Law Editor of the Law Journal.
Louis Scolnik, Me. ’52, filled the position of second alternate. Born in Lewiston, Maine, Mr. Scolnik received his A.B. from Bates College in 1947. Also a member of Pierce Butler Law Club, he has been active in oral arguments at the Law School during the past two years.
James Anton, A\ H. ’52 succeeded

Charles F. Crimi, A\ Y. '52, who resigned as Dean late in November.

HOLTZOFF SPEAKS AT BUTLER CLUB LUNCHEON
WELCH ADDRESSES PAD AT INITIATION EVENT

Judge Alexander Holtzoff of the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia was guest speaker at the annual luncheon of the Bierce Butler Law Club, held at 11ammel’s Restaurant on December 11th. The luncheon was arranged under the chairmanship of John Dohony, Md. ’54. lie was assisted by Jordan Tanenbaum, K. /. ’54. Chancellor Richard Gordon, D. C. '53, introduced the speaker whose topic was education and the law. Stressing the cultural riches of literature as one of the most vital contributions to a great lawyer. Judge Holtzoff indicated that the extent to which modern college curriculae have shifted from the classics to the exact sciences has resulted in a younger generation which is almost inarticulate. To the credit of the Jesuit Order, he added, it should be said that their universities are the last bulwark of this type of learning.
(icorgetown’s Taft Chapter and
George Washington's Jay Chapter of the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity joined forces for their initiation ceremonies and banquet on December 8, 1951. The joint initiation was decided upon in furtherance of one of the purposes of the fraternity: to form a strong link between the students of the two schools. The two chapters also held a joint pledging ceremony last year.
The principal speaker at the initiation was J. Harry Welch, ’21, prominent member of the D. C. Bar and former Justice of the Taft Chapter. Mr. Welch spoke convincingly on trial techniques, problems in interviewing and examining witnesses, and general problems confronting a young lawyer. The initiation ceremonies were conducted by William Zhiel and Louis Fernandez, Fla. ’52, present Justices of Jay and Taft Chapters, respectively.
Three Alumni, pictured as they heard the public argument in Carroll

The Faculty—

The successful athletic program inaugurated last year bv the Student Bar Association is being continued this year, and plans for expanding its scope to include more activities and to bring more students together in active out-of-class companionship are being formulated.
The Georgetown and George Washington Chapters of Gamma Eta Gamma Fraternity held a joint initiation program on November 17th, 1951 at the Congressional Hotel. The District Alumni Chapter of the Fraternity also joined in the event.
Georgetown Law School students initiated into the legal brotherhood were: Joel Cohen, Jr., I). ( ’. '53; Eli W.

Speaking at the banquet which followed the initiation was Judge Matthew F. McGuire of the U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia, an alumni member of the Fraternity. Robert Ludwig, president of the Alumni Chapter, was toastmaster.
Judge McGuire spoke of the lowering of standards in Judaeo-Christian morality in public and private life. He observed that when we consider the news today, we see an almost complete lack of faith, hope and charity, and love of neighbor; and a manifest departure even from the rudiments of due process. He urged those present, as lawvers and future law vers, to revive these weakened ideals.

    The Impact of the Nazi Racial Decrees on the University of Heidelberg Arye Carmon

    The Impact of the Nazi Racial Decrees on the University of Heidelberg Arye Carmon One of the first objectives realized by the Nazis during the years 1933-1935 was the "cleansing" (Saeuberung) of the German universities of their Jewish students and lecturers. This purge was connected with the attempt to "co- ordinate" (Gleichschaltung) German academic life with the tenets of National Socialism. Yet, while "co-ordination" and "cleansing" seem to us in retrospect to be interrelated processes, the Nazis considered them as two separate issues. The former was a long-range objective, which was never fully realized, while the ousting of Jewish academics was in fact one aspect of the Nazi "solution of the Jewish question." The following is an attempt to describe the "cleansing" process and to analyze its implications1. Although the research presented here is a case study of a single university - Heidelberg* - it also constitutes all attempt to 1 For a description of the expulsion of Jewish academics from the Berlin- Charlottenburg T.H. see Hans Ebert, “The Expulsion of the Jews from the Berlin-Charlottenburg Technische Hochschule,” Leo Baeck Institute Year Book , Vol. XIX, 1974, pp. 155–171. *The University of Heidelberg, established in 1386 by the Elector Palatine of the Rhine, Ruprecht I, for several centuries played a significant role in the spiritual life of Central Europe. In May 1803, during the Napoleonic wars, Karl Friedrich, Markgraf of Baden, issued an edict for the re-organisation of the university. This edict effected a departure from the medieval tradition of studium generale , according to which education had been regarded primarily as a tool of the state.

    Wissenschaft Und Politik: Streiflichter Zu Leben Und Werk Franz Böhms (1895-1977)

    Sonderdrucke aus der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg ALEXANDER HOLLERBACH Wissenschaft und Politik: Streiflichter zu Leben und Werk Franz Böhms (1895-1977) Originalbeitrag erschienen in: Dieter Schwab (Hrsg.): Staat, Kirche, Wissenschaft in einer pluralistischen Gesellschaft: Festschrift zum 65. Geburtstag von Paul Mikat. Berlin: Duncker & Humblot, 1989, S. [283]-299 Wissenschaft und Politik: Streiflichter zu Leben und Werk Franz Böhms (1895 - 1977) Von Alexander Hollerbach Die Verknüpfung von Wissenschaft und Politik, genauerhin von Rechts- wissenschaft und politischem Engagement in Legislative und Exekutive, ist eine Dominante im Lebensgang und in der Werkgeschichte Paul Mikats. In ganz eigener Prägung hat der „politische Professor" in ihm Gestalt gewon- nenl. Er steht damit zwar nicht allein, aber die Zahl der Vorläufer sowohl als auch die der Mitstreiter ist gering. Um so mehr darf unter dieser Per- spektive gerade in einer Festschrift zu seinen Ehren an eine Persönlichkeit von hohem Rang erinnert werden, nämlich an Franz Böhm 2 . Zwar ist es weder das juristische Fach noch die Konfession, was den Jubilar mit diesem verbindet, wohl aber die Partei und, von weiteren Parallelen und Gemein- samkeiten abgesehen, vor allem die moralische Dimension des wissenschaft- lichen und politischen Wirkens 3 . 1 Zu einem Urbild dieser Species und zum Begriff überhaupt vgl. Horst Ehmke, Karl von Rotteck, der „politische Professor", Karlsruhe 1964. 2 Der nachfolgende Beitrag baut auf einer ersten Skizze auf, die ich in Heft 102 (Dezember 1988) der Freiburger Universitätsblätter gegeben habe: Zu Leben und Werk Franz Böhms, S. 81 - 89. Dafür konnten insbesondere die Personal- und Lehr- stuhlakten der Rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultät und des Universitätsarchivs Frei- burg ausgewertet werden.
