Articles
may now be submitted for the 2013 ABA Forum on the Construction Industry’s
Student Writing Competition. The competition is open to all law students in
good standing and attending an ABA accredited law school in 2013. Students may
submit articles on any topic related to construction law. The format of the
articles should resemble the articles published in either of the Forum's two
publications, The
Construction Lawyer (law journal format with guidelines in the
Complete Rules link below) and Under
Construction (newsletter format with articles of 1000-2000 words).
Senior
ABA Forum members will judge the submissions. Criteria for selection include
creativity, clarity and precision of writing, strength of argument, novelty of
subject, and quality of research. The author of the first place submission
receives: a cash prize of $2,000; travel expenses and registration to attend
the next annual meeting of the ABA Forum on the Construction Industry (where a
first prize plaque will be presented); a one-year membership in the Forum and
recognition in both the Forum newsletter, Under
Construction, and on the Forum's website. In addition to the first
place winner, one or more authors may be judged a finalist and recognized with
a plaque and in Forum publications.
Submissions
from the Competition winner and finalists will be considered for publication in
either The Construction
Lawyer or Under
Construction.
The
deadline for submission of articles for the 2013 competition is December 31,
2013. All
articles shall be submitted to Bridget Miller (Bridget.Miller@americanbar.org)
and Marilyn Klinger (marilyn.klinger@sedgwicklaw.com) by email
in Word format.
