Business Law Section
Annual Student Writing Competition
The Business Law Section sponsors an annual Student Writing Competition,
open to all students who are candidates for the JD or LLM degree at an
accredited law school during the year in which the article is
submitted. The student articles submitted in a given year
that are judged first and second best, provided they are of publishable
quality and otherwise meet the criteria of the Competition, will receive
cash prizes of $1,500 and $1,000, respectively. At the discretion
of the editors, they also will be published in the NYSBA New York
Business Law Journal, which is sponsored by the Section and by New York
Law School and is published in the Spring and Fall. Additional
cash prizes may be awarded in the discretion of the Section.
Entries that do not qualify for cash prizes may also be considered for
publication in the Journal.
Articles submitted will be judged on the following criteria:
The manuscript should follow blue book cite format (using endnotes
rather than footnotes) and be a minimum of 3000 words (there is no
maximum). Submissions should be made by February 15 for the Spring
issue and August 15 for the Fall issue of the Journal. All
submissions become the property of the NYSBA and the Business Law
Journal. By submitting an article, the student is deemed to
consent to its publication, whether or not a cash prize is awarded.
To enter, the student should submit an original, unpublished
manuscript in Word format to David L. Glass, editor in chief, NYSBA New
York Business Law Journal (david.glass@macquarie.com).
The student should include a brief biography, including law school
attended, degree for which the student is a candidate, and expected year
of graduation.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2011 Annual Student Writing
Competition!
