Those of you who are interested in law school may be interested in this.

Baylor Law School is pleased to request applications for the Leon Jaworski Law
Scholarships for Outstanding Debaters.  The scholarships are full tuition and
may be renewed for the second and third years based on academic and advocacy
performance.  The primary factors considered for these scholarships are the
applicant's record in advocacy exercises, undergraduate academic records, and
the LSAT score.  Recommendations from coaches are required but no more than
three such letters should be submitted.  The Law School will consult with the
Baylor University debate faculty and other appropriate faculty members involved
in advocacy exercises on award decisions.

The advocacy program at Baylor Law School is strong.  In the 1996-97 academic
year over 220 students participated in the moot court program as contestants and
