Both the cases will be held in Langdell Hall Centre at 8 o'clock, although it is hoped that the final arguments in January may be held in the auditorium in the new wing of Langdell which is now being constructed.

An effort will be made this year to have the Ames Competition cases presented in non-technical language as far as possible, so that the arguments will be more intelligible to the outsider.
