Writing competitions offer an opportunity to publish, earn impressive resume credits, and win substantial cash prizes. And lest you think winning is an impossible dream, Touro students have won top prizes in national writing competitions, with cash awards as high as $4000. The following writing competitions are open only to Law Center GRADUATING students, and so offer the best chance of winning.
The New York State Bar Association Law Student Legal Ethics Award offers a $750 prize for the best paper on professional responsibility or legal ethics. Although no page limit is specified, entries should be approximately 10 or more pages in length. Any paper on the subject written during your time here at Touro can be submitted.
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Nathan Burkan Memorial Competition offers prizes of $600 and $250 for the best essays on any aspect of copyright law. For more information on the competition requirements, please visit the Office of Student Services. Please note that you may not submit a paper that has already been published.
The Best Paper by a Graduating Student Award carries no cash prize, but is a very prestigious honor awarded to the graduating student who in the judgment of a faculty committee has written the best paper, published or unpublished, on any legal subject. Any paper written during your time here at Touro can be submitted.
The same paper can win more than one award. Entries in all of these competitions must be submitted, in hard copy, to the Office of Student Services by Friday, April 24, 2009. You must submit one copy of your paper for each competition.
