South Texas moot court team
wins regional competition
By Bruce Phillip Mayer
Staff Writer
The South Texas College of Law
National Moot Court Team won
the first round of the New York
City Bar Association's national
moot court competition.
In achieving their victory, the
team of Richard P. Hogan, Jr.,
Terrie Gerlich, David Sacks and
David Holman defeated the Uni-
versity of Texas at Austin team
twice and also defeated teams from
Texas Tech, Tulsa and Baylor
universities.
Assistant Dean T. Gerald Treece
said South Texas also won the
award for the best written brief and
Mr. Hogan, the team captain, was
named top individual advocate.
Deem Treece said he was excited
about the team's victory because
every law school in the region par-
ticipated in the competition.
However, Dean Treece said he is.
more excited about the fact that the
team will now advance to the finals,
which will be held at the Associa-
tion of the Bar of the City of New
York Legal Building.
The upcoming competition is the
most prestigious of the year,
according to Dean Treece. He said
it could be called the "Superbowl
of law schools" because top law
school advocacy teams from across
the country will be participating.
Among the schools which will be
competing are Northwestern of
Chicago, U.C.L.A., Arizona State,
New York University, University of
Washington, Ohio State, Universi-
ty of Kansas, University of
Maryland, University of Texas,
Brigham Young University,
University of Missouri and Ford-
ham of New York. The competition
will be held Jan. 28 - Feb. 2.
The problem, which serves as the
focal point of the competition,
deals with the constitutional rights
of illegal aliens, including overtones
of the Haitian/Cuban refugee boat
lifts which took place under former
President Jimmy Carter's adminis-
tration.
Dean Treece also announced that
the team will hereinafter be known
as the Garland Walker National
Moot Court Team. This year's ad-
vocacy team is the first to bear this
name and Dean Treece said the des-
ignation is a fitting tribute to a fine
man.
"Ten years from now, when
memories of Dean Walker are
growing dim, this tribute will help
to serve as a reminder of Dean
Walker's splendid achievements."

By Stephan Rubin

The South Texas Law Journal is
conducting its second "write-on"
competition for those students in-
terested in writing for the journal
but who do not have the requisite
grade point averages.
A meeting will be held for inter-
ested students 12:30 p.m. Feb. 16 in
Rm. 332 of the Cullen Building.
Competition regulations will be ex-
plained and materials will be
distributed at that time.
In the future, the write-on com-
petition will be offered only in the
Spring semester, according to Lee
Russell, editor-in-chief.
The competition is divided into
two parts — a Bluebook exercise
and a Casenote. Students will have
one week to work on the Bluebook
exercise, which is due Feb. 25. The
Casenote topic is due March 18.
Students must have completed 15
semester hours to be eligible for the
