The ABA Section of Science & Technology Law is pleased to present it's Second Annual Law Student Writing Contest.  The contest is designed to encourage law students to write on subjects related to science and technology law and encourage a cutting edge view or innovative take on the topic.

The theme for the 2009 contest is being confirmed.

Justin Lee of Loyola Law School, Los Angeles is recognized for his "honorable mention" submission: The Reasonable Expectation of Invasion.

The winner received a trip to the ABA Annual Meeting in New York City and will have his or her submission published in The SciTech Lawyer.
