Pacific Legal Writing Competition
From the Blawg Wisdom submission form:The competition's sponsor, the Pacific Legal Foundation, says it is “rescuing liberty from the grasp of government” and it quotes James Fenimore Cooper (of “Leatherstocking Tales” fame) on its website. Without digging too deep, those cues suggest a somewhat libertarian organization, so perhaps you should pitch your competition papers toward that end of the field. Or maybe not. Topics and rules are here. Note to Pacific Legal: The second paragraph on your “about” page says that the “abuses of the English monarchy” are “subtle and incremental” today in America. I'm thinking that's not actually what you mean there, just FYI.I wanted to let you know about our writing competition. This competition is a great way to practice writing (as if you don't already do enough of that). Even better, if you win, no more need for free pizza for a while. The prizes are $5,000 for first place, with $3,000 and $1,500 for the runners up, so please share this with your student colleagues. Thanks!
