Legal Writing Competitions

Any student interested in entering a legal writing competition can access hundreds of legal writing competitions on a huge variety of topics. Students of winning papers may receive monetary compensation of up to $5,000, and the prize may include publication. The link below leads to an extensive list of such competitions on various topics. In addition, I would encourage any student who would like to enter a legal writing competition to make his or her own web search (e.g. “student legal writing competitions”) and choose from the many options found there. The student can also narrow the search to a particular area of interest (“student legal writing competitions elder law”).
