Law Student Writing Competition
The
American Bar Association (ABA) Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section
is pleased to announce the winners of its second annual law student writing competition.
The Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section is one of the oldest and
largest entities within the American Bar Association with approximately
32,000 members, consisting of plaintiffs' attorneys, defense attorneys,
insurance and corporate counsel, and law students. The goal of this
competition is to encourage and reward scholarly writings on legal subjects
within the scope of the Section and of general and current interest.
Numerous entries were received, which were all
impressive in their own right. The taskforce members graded each paper anonymously,
without knowing the students' name or their law school affiliation. The papers were judged
on the following five criteria:
- Relevance to TIPS substantive legal area(s)
- Clarity of legal analysis
- Organization, attention to detail, citation form
- How contemporary the issue is
- Whether the paper would be a good candidate for publication in the TIPS Law Journal
