Law Student Writing Competition
About the Competition It is time again for the Health Care Law Section’s annual writing competition for all second and third year Michigan law students. The topic will be announced no later than April 15, 2009 through all of the Michigan law schools and on the Health Care Law Section website. Submissions are due July 31, 2009. The Section will award a first prize of $2,000 and a second prize of $1,500 for the best written products. Council members will judge the submissions on quality of the legal analysis, innovative approach to the topic, style, grammar and appearance. The Law Student Writing Competition is limited to 2nd and 3rd year students in any Michigan law school. Submissions should be no longer than 10 pages. Students should not feel compelled to submit ten pages if they are able to appropriately address the topic more succinctly. The Council judges quality, not quantity. Submissions must be e-mailed, in Word format, to Joanne Lax at jlax@dykema.com by July 31, 2009. Be sure to include an address and cell phone number where you can be reached. Prizes will be awarded at the 2009 Annual Meeting to be held at the Cranbrook Institute of Science on September 24, 2009. The winners will receive a complimentary admission to the annual meeting luncheon and educational program which will focus upon current issues in health care law. We also welcome the winners to the cocktail reception following the program, which will include private tours of selected areas of the museum. Please contact the following Health Care Law Section Council members with questions. Joanne Lax Carol Tarnowsky Monica Wilkinson 2008 Winners
