Moot Court Competition.
UGA vs. King’s Inns. 3:30 p.m. Hatton Lovejoy Courtroom. Sponsored by law school. 542-5172.
The advocacy skills of UGA law students and student barristers from the Honorable Society of King’s Inns in Dublin, Ireland, will be put to the test in an argument over an international economic dispute. The friendly competition is open and free to the public.
The exchange, created in 1996, complements the law school’s older program with Gray’s Inn of London, England, held in alternating years. UGA law students are thus exposed to international cultures and legal systems each fall.
Up for hypothetical appeal before a panel of UGA law professors and their Irish counterparts is the fate of a developing country accused of violating international trade laws. The country recently underwent a massive revolution and swung open its doors to the global marketplace. When it was unexpectedly flooded with products from a larger, developed neighbor, however, it retaliated by nationalizing some industries and restricting free trade, particularly media products.
UGA will be represented in the debate by three third-year law students, all members of last year’s successful National Moot Court team: Anne Allen Westbrook, Charlie Bethel and Jennifer Auer. The Irish delegation is comprised of three young barristers and King’s Inns’ director of education, Marcella Higgins.
“The educational experience of working and thinking through the problem is probably the most valuable part of the whole moot court experience,” says Bethel. “This exhibition will be a lot of fun for those of us who enjoy arguing the law, and we’ll be able to test ourselves against international competitors.”
The roots of King’s Inns go back to the 16th century and the reign of Henry VIII. To become a barrister-at-law in Ireland, a student must have passed a diploma examination at the King’s Inns. Therefore, all members of the Irish bar and judiciary belong to the society.
During their stay in Georgia, the Irish guests will tour Athens and Atlanta and go whitewater rafting with the UGA students. In mid-November, the UGA competitors will reciprocate the visit and travel to King’s Inns in Dublin. The exchanges are financed in part by the William Carroll Brown Fund.

Concert.
Pamela Frank, violin, and Claude Frank, piano. $17-$21 (half-price for students). 8 p.m. Hodgson Hall. Sponsored by Performing Arts Center (Music Series I). Box office open weekdays 9 a.m.-5 p.m. 542-4400.
The father-daughter duo of Pamela and Claude Frank will perform an all-Beethoven program to open the Performing Arts Center’s fifth-anniversary season. The program includes Sonata No. 4 in A minor, Op. 23; Sonata No. 10 in G Major, Op. 96; and Sonata No. 7 in C minor, Op. 30, No. 2.
The Franks are renowned for their performances of the music of Beethoven. Following their New York recital last season, the New York Times reported that “the most striking aspect of the recital was the sheer musicality of these two players. They both know what to do with Beethoven’s dialect and their unanimity of purpose made for the lively interplay that is chamber music at its best.”
American violinist Pamela Frank has appeared with prestigious orchestras around the world. Her high level of musicianship was recognized in 1999 with the Avery Fisher Prize, one of the highest honors given to American instrumentalists.
Claude Frank was born in Germany, but fled Europe during Nazi rule and settled in New York. He made his debut with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in 1959 and since then has had a distinguished career as a pianist.
A pre-concert lecture will be given at 7:15 p.m. in Ramsey Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public.
