The Environmental Law Institute and the American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources announce the second annual "Endangered Environmental Laws" Student Writing Competition. Law students are invited to submit papers exploring issues at the intersection of constitutional and environmental law, as a means to reinforce and defend environmental protection at the federal and state levels. Any topic addressing recent developments or trends in United States environmental law that have a significant constitutional law or federalism element is welcome.
Any student currently enrolled in law school (including those outside the U.S.) may submit an entry. This includes students graduating in the spring or summer of 2007. Any relevant article, case comment, note, or essay may be submitted for the competition, including writing submitted for academic credit. Jointly authored pieces are also eligible as long as all authors are students. Pieces that have been previously published, or that are slated for publication, are not eligible for this competition.
The award is a $2,000 cash prize and offer of publication in ELI's Environmental Law Reporter, the only attorney-edited law review covering environmental and natural resource issues.
Deadline: April 13, 2008
