Each year, the American Bar
Association Section of Family Law conducts an essay contest to encourage law
students to think about current issues in family law, and to encourage
participation in the Section of Family Law.
Students may write on any aspect of family law. The contest is open to
second and third-year full-time law students (and second through fourth-year
part-time students) of all ABA-approved law schools, and to first year students
where family law is taught as part of the first year curriculum.
Winning entries receive the
following: Monetary prize, certificate of recognition, consideration of essay’s
publication in Family Law Quarterly
and the Section website, letter to law school dean regarding the achievement,
and one year complimentary membership to the Section. To enter, one must submit an entry form by
April 17, 2015. Essays are due May 1,
2015.
More information, including our
downloadable entry form, can be found on our website.
