Each year,
St. John's law students excel in writing competitions. There
are competitions on virtually every topic: from administrative law
to religious freedom, from labor law to women’s rights, from
intellectual property to gun control. Some offer cash prizes (as
much as $10,000) and others publish the winning papers. No matter
what the prize, winning a writing competition is a great way to
hone your writing skills, explore a new area of law, and enhance
your resume.
The Law School's Writing Center compiles, organizes and updates
a list of current writing competitions. In order to access this
list, students must sign up for the Writing Center's TWEN site.
Those students already enrolled on TWEN can view the list via the
Writing Competitions tab on TWEN.
If you have any questions regarding competitions, feel free to
stop by the Writing Center or email us at sju.writing@gmail.com.
Best of luck to all of this year's
competitors.
