2003 Student Writing Contest
The Jacques T. Schlenger Student Writing Contest
is open to all law students currently attending
an ABA-accredited law school. The Contest is
designed to encourage and reward law student
writing on real property, probate and trust
law subjects of general and current interest.
The Contest is named in honor of the late Jacques
T. Schlenger, a nationally renowned estate planning
lawyer, founder of the Venable Foundation, and
Section member for 45 years. Established in
1981, the Venable Foundation works to promote
the health and well-being of the communities
where Venable's clients and attorneys work and
live. The Venable Foundation supports a wide
range of civic, cultural, and charitable endeavors
as well as public interest law and legal education.
The first place winner will receive a cash
prize of $2,000 (together with a one year free
membership in the Section and an expense paid
trip to the Section's Fall Council Meeting in
New Orleans, LA in November 2003), with the
second and third place winners receiving a cash
prize of $500 and $250, respectively.
Complete rules as well as an entry form are
also available online on the writing
contest page. In case of any questions,
please contact the coordinator of the Contest,
Kevin L. Shepherd, at klshepherd@venable.com.
The deadline for submitting papers is June
15, 2003.
