Harvard Law School Ames Competition Briefs, 1924-1926

The largest part of the collection contains materials from Robert Wheeler’s time in law school. It primarily comprises legal briefs used by Robert Wheeler and his partner Harold Havighurst, and those written by them, while participating in the Harvard Law School Ames Competition. These briefs span 1924-26 and contain papers describing the content of the cases Wheeler and Havighurst were arguing. In addition, there is a manual of instructions for editorial work for the Harvard Law Review and a heavily marked article.
